Is the 'perfect body' about pleasing others? [Ep 4]

Unapologetic AF: Thrive beyond people pleasing and perfectionism

If I said that your perfectionist and people pleasing tendencies have links to your relationship with your body, how does that land? In this episode I talk about the connection between these tendencies, how you’ve learnt to relate to your body and the notion of the ‘perfect body.’

Key takeaways from this episode:

• What you’ve learnt about what your body should like, doesn’t just come from the messages you’ve received, but also what you’ve observed with the close women in your life
• The very human want and need to feel like you’re accepted, loved and like you belong manifests in needing this ‘perfect body’
• Perfectionism and people pleasing are very closely linked -the 'perfect body' can be about wanting to elicit a response from the people around you, to ‘please’ them.
• Taking time to connect with your body on a deeper level then how it looks will help you come off this exhausting hamster wheel of perfection and people pleasing.
