Today we are talking about something that I know so many of us struggle with—whether we say it out loud or not. And that is: how we feel about ourselves when we see a photo of ourselves that we don’t love.
Maybe it’s a group picture someone tags you in. Maybe it’s a candid shot your partner took. Maybe it’s even a selfie you took yourself—and instead of seeing the fun memory, the beautiful moment, or the experience you were having, your brain zooms in on that one thing you hate about how you look.
“Ugh, my arms look huge.”
“Why do I look so puffy?”
“I didn’t realize my legs looked like that.”
If you’ve ever had a moment where a photo stole your joy… this episode is for you.
What I discuss:

What to do when the self-discrepancy moment hits
6 actionable steps to positively react
And if you loved today’s episode, I know you’ll also love…
