Episode notes

An ecourse on body image, titled "Body Boost: Mirror, Mirror," by the Mindful Modern Mistress focuses on the challenges of navigating body image in new relationships. The author argues that while new relationships can be exciting, they can also bring about heightened self-consciousness, particularly when it comes to intimacy. She suggests that the desire for connection and acceptance often magnifies feelings of self-doubt, leading individuals to fixate on perceived imperfections. However, the author stresses that if a partner is genuinely interested, they are unlikely to be overly concerned with such details and their focus will be on creating a positive experience. She encourages readers to treat themselves with the same kindness and acceptance they extend to others, ultimately fostering confidence and enjoyment in their own skin.
