@mightypursuit: Episode 23 of the Mighty Pursuit Podcast is NOW LIVE, as we sit down with Jess Connolly. Jess is a coach, podcaster and nine-time author, including the international bestseller Breaking Free From Body Shame. After it was released in 2021, it immediately became one of the most recommended books for body image issues. What you’ll quickly learn is that in a space that can feel so tormenting, Jess has become a redemptive force and a much-needed bright light. We believe the topic of body image is one of the most pressing issues of our day. The latest studies have revealed that over 90% of people experience dissatisfaction with their bodies, which includes both men and women. Meaning, nearly everyone who is reading this right now is insecure about something. This is deeply concerning, because how we feel about our bodies, and feel inside our bodies, is a vital component to our holistic well-being. So in this episode, we wrestle through our body image issues in real-time. We discuss why body image has become such a big issue, and we get an inside look into Jess’s personal story with this issue. We talk about plastic surgery, Ozempic, eating disorders, obsessive gym routines, beauty, fashion and all the different ways we try to counteract aging. Through the course of the conversation, we learn that each one of us faces a fork in the road, in which society presents us with a few different paths to travel down. We could pursue the beauty standards, and try to fix ourselves. Or maybe embrace the tenets of the body positivity or body neutrality movements. And finally, Jess puts forth an alternative path. One you probably haven’t heard before. We found her perspective to be balanced, nuanced, and one that has genuine staying power in our search for peace and contentment. Which is why we believe that after listening to this conversation, you too might gain a new perspective, and a framework that can guide you as you move forward.  Click the link in our bio to catch the full episode on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts! #bodypositivity #bodypositive #bodyneutrality #bodyneutral #bodyimage #bodyimageissues #BeautyTok #beauty #beautyhacks #beautystandard
