Hello, my chickens.

How are you guys?

I am amazing.

I have been doing so much work on the clutch college online body image breakthrough class

that I am offering inside the clutch.

It's been just such a powerful reminder to me of how, you know, I think women are given

this catch 22 of your appearance matter so much, your weight matter so much, you should

always look young and unwrinkled and unblemished and have, you know, proportions that don't make

sense together, right?

You should, and there's so much pressure on it, but then of course the minute that a woman

cares about her appearance, she's vain and shallow, right?

And it's such a mind fuck and I think it makes it hard for women to even acknowledge

how much they are obsessing and fixated about their weight and their looks and their relationship

to their body because nobody, it's sort of like uncool now to admit it, right?

Like everybody wants to be body positive.

Nobody wants to be that woman who thinks she should be thin, but it's still so ingrained,

right?

And the truth is it's like the opposite of trivial.
