Hidden Stressors Series: Body Image
Andryanna likes to note that a simple equation to achieve better balance is to subtract unwanted stress and add in more modes of joy and self care. In some cases however, when we look to removing unwanted stress from our lives we come up short as we may not know where to look or how to start. Sometimes we don't realize the areas that are causing our feeling of being stressed, which is why this series on hidden stressors has been created.
Over the next few weeks, Andryanna will speak to guest experts to uncover some of the topics that may unknowingly be causing stress and wreaking havoc on our physical, mental and emotional health.
The focus of this episode is stress and body image with special guest: Lee-Anne Reuber, CEO and founder of Sekond Skin Society, a virtual wellness and movement membership.
Andryanna and Lee-Anne discuss why the topic of body image is a hidden stressor, the psychology of our self-image, how to balance the mindset scales, and how to take action from a place of love.
