The Conversation on Body Image

This weekend I had a little downtime to catch up on one of my FAVORITE shows ever.

It used to be on Lifetime but now is available as webisodes on-line.

It’s called “The Conversation”…have you seen it?

If not you are in for a real treat…this show is all about bringing to light the fears, trials, struggles, and desires that women have…and most importantly creating the dialogue for it.

It never feels good to suffer in silence…around weight, health, sexual desires, overwhelm, and the pressures that we feel daily, so I totally respect the show’s creator Amanda De Cadenet for actually creating the space for women like you and me to explore these things via the media.

(And for men to get hip to what’s in our hearts and minds!)

Now trust me when I say you’ll want to watch every episode but this one really stood out to me because having a healthy body image is such an important topic for all of us.

This one features actress Busy Philipps getting honest about body hate, the pressure from Hollywood to be perfect…even after baby, and how our perception of self effects our little ones.

Her opening quote stopped me dead in my tracks: “A part of me would die inside if I heard my little girl talking about her body in a mean way.”



HEADS UP: This contains adult subject matter and uses adult language so just don’t be shocked.

I would also invite you to explore if you notice yourself becoming uncomfortable about the straight talk going on here.

Whenever I become uncomfortable around a certain subject matter, I like to check in and see if I’m holding on to any shame in that area, especially when we start talking about the female body.

Resistance usually means that’s exactly where I need to go….and grow!

In the comments below let me know your thoughts about the webisode. 🙂

    Absolutely loved this Anita, great message that women really need to hear. Good to see something different than the general body obsession going on in the media.
