Summary

When the opportunity arose to have one of our previous guest's twin sister on the show, I rearranged a lot because this interview is exactly what so many of us need to hear. In episode 97, Lindsay Kite taught us how to build a resilient body image. Today, Lexie Kite brings us up to speed with their recent accomplishments and delivers another powerful episode on how to over come body obsession, and as she says, come home to your self. Since they both received their PhD's in media and body image, Lindsay and Lexie Kite are the sisters behind Beauty Redefined and "More Than a Body," their most recent book. Having faced the same pressures and unrealistic ideals of female body image, Lexie knows where each of us is and meets us there with simple steps to overcome an ingrained obsession. It's time to stop holding yourself back, the world needs you. Tune in for the mantra you need to remember, how to deal with shame, and one super practical tip for social media usage that you can implement right away. About a few other things... Can you help me out really quickly? Take this 3-5 minute survey that let's me know how to better serve you, the women of this community. I'll select 5 participants to receive a thank you gift!

0:07.6	obsession and come home to yourself with Dr. Lexi Kite. Can you imagine the
0:14.8	impact of half the world's population feeling defined by and perpetually
0:19.7	focused on their appearance as their primary source of value, health, happiness,
0:26.0	and power? What is the world missing because a portion of our attention, effort,
0:32.0	and income is devoted so consistently to our looks? How many girls and women in
0:37.6	this world are being held back waiting to really live until they feel qualified
0:42.2	to be seen? The impact is inconceivable. The lost presence and leadership and
0:49.7	voice of women, the lost experiences of unencumbered joy and fulfillment, the
0:55.3	lost happiness, health, well-being, confidence, the damaged relationships, and
1:00.1	missed connections. What have you lost? What has your family, your community, your
1:06.2	country, and the whole world lost? Alternatively, what does our whole world have to
1:13.0	gain as more and more of us leave behind the paths that have asked us to
1:17.5	shrink instead of grow? As you show up, engage, speak, create, innovate, move, lead,
1:24.5	serve, love, and exist outside the confines of your fears of being looked at. You
1:30.3	are reclaiming your power and your very existence. These are not my words. I
1:36.6	absolutely wish that I could write and speak like that. These words come
1:41.6	directly from Doctors Lindsay and Lexi Kite's new book, More Than A Body. You
1:47.6	might know them from beauty redefined on Instagram. They are a big deal. And I
1:52.9	first saw the entire quote in a post they did back in December, right when I was
1:58.2	in the middle of getting caught up in the whirlwinds myself, a feeling like I
2:01.8	should be smaller, more beautiful, more perfect. I was planning 2021 and all of our
