Episode 16: Curvy & Crushing It: Owning Your Space in the Business World

The SHERO Effect

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.

Today’s Affirmation and Self-Reflection:

I love myself just as I am. (Tune in for the expanded affirmation)

1. What qualities do I love the most about myself? How can I celebrate them?
2. How can I practice self-compassion during challenging times?
3. In what ways can I create a supportive and loving environment for myself?

What’s Inside:

• Challenges that curvy women face in our society.
• Finding resilience and self-acceptance as a curvy queen.
