#023 - Body Image, Identity and Wellbeing

A few weeks ago, my good friend Charli Wall invited me to do a talk and some coaching demos for a group of people on one of her programmes. 💜 I love doing coaching demos (it's one of my top skills), so I happily agreed 😀 Then Charli told me the subject…  She wanted me to talk about body image.  I explained to her that I’d never really given ‘body image’ much thought, but that I’d be happy to share what it looked like to me. So that’s what I did. I started with a question: “What is body image?” And we took it from there. The talk ranged from puppies to epistemology… from toddlers to your true identity… And at one point it occurred to me to ask a question that had never occurred to me before (this is the brain-teaser)… "If you were to wake up tomorrow morning and discover that your body image had improved, like it was 2x or 5x or 100 times as good… how would you know?" I spoke for 18 minutes, and then we spent the next 40 minutes doing coaching demos. The coaching demos are private and confidential, but Charli kindly gave me permission to share this 18-minute body-image talk with my community. Would you like to see / hear the session?
