Summary: <p>How do you feel about your body? We live in a world that prizes a narrow body ideal, and it is easy to find our own perceptions of ourselves swayed by this view. In this episode, we discuss the brilliant body image work of Lexie and Lindsay Kite in their book, <em>More Than a Body</em>. We discuss how we can leave the waters of self objectication, where we experience the world through an outsider’s perspective of our bodies, onto the firm land of embodiment, where we can truly experience life IN our bodies, through our own experience of them. It’s a game changing concept.</p> <p>We address issues like positive body image, and agree that “Positive body image isn't believing your body looks good; it is knowing your body is good, regardless of how it looks.” It’s a revolutionary concept that we believe can change the world for the better for men and women, as we reject objectification and make peace with our bodies and experience truly living inside of ourselves.</p> <p>THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED US</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.to/3V11jQ8"><u>More Than a Body</u></a> // Lindsay Kite PhD and Lexie Kite PhD</p> <p>RELATED EPISODES:</p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000499948317"><u>Teaching Our Daughters to Live Wholeheartedly </u></a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000464490809"><u>Raising Boys Part 1</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/find-the-magic/id1448424341?i=1000465183082"><u>Raising Boys Part 2</u></a></p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong></p> <p><strong>GABB WIRELESS</strong></p> <p>We LOVE devices that help our kids stay safe and be able to adventure while still being able to contact us safely and allow us to know where they are without being the kind of technology that steals their mental health and attention.
