Happy International Women's Day!!! To celebrate, we are having an exclusive body talk episode. Over 90% of women are insecure about their bodies and appearance, leaving them vulnerable to developing eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and other body image struggles. Mainstream culture perpetuates impossible beauty standards and body ideals that leave a harmful imprint that can last a lifetime. Today, I am in conversation with Taylor, founder of size-inclusive swimwear company, Nomads. She shares her journey to becoming a plus-size model, how she finally established a good relationship with her body, challenges in the beauty industry, why she started her brand and more. LISTEN UP!
The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body. Join Valerie Agyeman, Women’s Health Dietitian as she breaks through topics surrounding periods, women’s nutrition, body awareness, and self-care.
