Helping young women stop obsessing over their appearance and start finding peace with their bodies

The pressure to look a certain way never ends, and honestly? It’s exhausting.

You're looking at yourself in the mirror, and find yourself zeroing in on every so-called “flaw.”

You’re going out with friends tonight and instead of feeling excited, you’re anxious. It’s dictating what you’re going to wear, and you hate that your body is holding you back from feeling good about yourself.

You think back to your mom saying things like “I can’t wear this, I look fat” and can hear her telling you “maybe wear something a little more flattering.”

You scroll through Instagram and can’t help but compare yourself to the perfect bodies you see all over your feed. It’s so hard to feel confident when you’re constantly being bombarded with the “ideal body.”

You’ve tried the affirmations.
You’ve repeated the mantras.
You’ve listened to the podcasts and flipped through the self-help books...
But when you look in the mirror and try saying “I love my body”, it feels like you’re lying to yourself.

It’s not just what you see, it’s how much time, emotion, and energy it consumes. Do you find yourself…

Comparing your body to other women, either in real life or online

Avoiding looking in the mirror but when you do, you pick yourself apart
Feeling embarrassed about the way you look so you say no to pictures
Not wearing what you want because you feel self-conscious
Obsessing over your appearance

You hate what you see in the mirror, but hate how much you think about it more.

You’re trying to love your body…

…but no matter how hard you try, there’s still that voice in the back of your mind saying: “If I could just change how I look, I’d be happier.”

You think about your body constantly. How it looks. How it could be better. How it failed you.

You want to let go of your insecurities, but it feels like a daily battle, always fighting off embarrassment for how your body looks.

The truth is, you've been doing the best you can and now it's time to find the support you deserve.

You don't have to do this alone

Let go of the shame you were never meant to carry.

You’ve spent years feeling like your self-worth is tied to how you look, but you no longer have to believe that.

Break free from the constant pressure to change your body in order to feel lovable.

Learn that it is possible to speak to yourself with kindness, even if you don’t always love what you see.

Imagine that when you look in the mirror or see pictures of yourself, you don’t tear yourself down and can just move on with your day.

You don’t have to go through life feeling uncomfortable with yourself.

As you build a healthier relationship with your body, you can begin to recognize that it’s just one aspect of you as a whole, and it’s worthy of being treated with compassion.
