Episode 16: Curvy & Crushing It: Owning Your Space in the Business World
Manage episode 429504302 series 3567399
Being a curvy business owner in a Barbie world is no easy feat. Shattering the mold for curvy queens and boss babes, I believe that success comes in all sizes. There are numerous challenges when you don't fit society's narrow mold, as the world often glorifies a single standard of beauty. Unique obstacles arise from societal expectations to internal struggles, which I understand deeply as a plus-size woman who has almost always struggled with weight, as most women have.
Working with many women, I see the struggles with self-esteem and want you to know you’re not alone. Despite these challenges, you can rise above them with success and confidence. You have the right to be at the table, on the stage, and to own your success.
I want to encourage you to find your way to resilience and self-acceptance.
Embrace your unique identity, recognize your identity isn't tied to your appearance, celebrate who you are, surround yourself with positivity, be mindful of your internal dialogue, prioritize self-care and well-being, live authentically always, and speak out for body positivity.
