Summary
If you’re like most of us, the words “body confidence” might, at times, feel like a distant idea instead of a reality. Maybe you keep finding things about your body to “fix,” or you’re just a bit self-conscious about stepping out of the Zoom window and into a swimsuit this summer. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and this episode is for you as we welcome Jess Connolly, author of the brand-new book Breaking Free from Body Shame.
Today, Jess and Jessica talk very personally and candidly about body awareness, shame, and the many messages that the world (and our minds) give us about what beauty is–and how we can decide to work toward body respect after the pandemic.

| 0:06.9 | Fashion brand new day collection. Join us here every week as we have conversations about leaving |
| 0:13.9 | comfort and going scared. All right, I don't know about you guys, but I have gotten a little bit |
| 0:21.0 | used to the Zoom appearance pattern feature. If you were just now learning about that, I am sorry. |
| 0:27.2 | And I've gotten used to, you know, waste up. Waste up is how people have come to know me over |
| 0:33.1 | the last 15 months. And so stepping out from behind the Zoom camera and during swimsuit season, |
| 0:42.2 | definitely has created a new awareness of vulnerability around body and body image and body shame |
| 0:49.6 | and dieting and all of those things. And you know that's something I have talked a lot about, |

| 1:19.2 | a lie that until you get into that size, then you will be happy. Then this podcast is for you. |
| 1:26.6 | That's why I wanted to have this conversation. I think a lot of us are feeling a little bit vulnerable |
| 1:30.4 | right now because we are getting together with actual real bodies again. So I wanted to have |
