Summary

Appearing in an ad on the internet can be an ordeal, because you’ll always get comments from people who don’t like the way you look for one reason or another. In today’s episode, Rachael and Kelsea talk about body positivity, why showing people with different body types in ads matters, and how some people will use health concerns as an excuse to body shame.

Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:

  • Using health as an excuse to body shame
  • The CVG experience of using different body types to model products
  • Why Kelsea was the only CVG model for such a long time
  • Avoiding swinging too hard to the other end of the spectrum
  • The staying power of negative comments
  • The value of showing different body types
  • When certain body types go in and out of fashion
  • Why appearance and size are not indicative of health
  • The subjectivity of appearance and looks
