This episode is all about beauty ideals, our relationship with our bodies and food, and social media. I can’t think of better conversation partners for this one than Lisa DeKam and Jacquie Danz, the founders of the Axia Project. Lisa is a physical therapist who works in the field of eating disorders and Jacquie is the mom of two teenage girls, who is committed to changing the narrative that a females’ appearance is the most important thing about her. Together, Lisa and Jacquie have founded the Axia Project, an organization seeking to teach women that life is more than your appearance and help women build skills to actively live their God-given worth.
In this episode, we talk about the prevalence of disordered eating and body image struggles, tips for bringing up the next generation in an image-saturated world, and why beauty ideals are not only damaging but get in the way of living out our purpose in the world. This is a must listen episode, calling out the breadth and depth of the fallout of cultural beauty standards, impacting females’ mental and emotional health, their relationship with food and their bodies, with others, and so much more. We also highlight how we go about making change. Please listen, and then, help us change the narrative!
