American women (and a significant number of women in Western
society) have serious body image issues. This manifests in a variety of ways.
We hear about anorexics and bulimics and women binge eat. We see the magazines
and entertainment shows that ridicule women for being a size 6 and who extol
the virtues of the practically impossible to achieve and maintain, Size Zero.
Yet the multitude of women who experience body image and
acceptance issues suffer in silence. They refuse to see a doctor for fear of
taking off their clothes. They fear complete sexual intimacy because of
possible rejection. They dread shopping for clothes or trips to the beach. They
fund the multi-billion dollar beauty industry! Their dissatisfaction shows up
in a lack of confidence, unhappiness, depression, and relationship
frustrations.
Our two guests confront these issues head on and help women
learn to love themselves, gain confidence and embrace life on their terms. Keri Kight is the author of You’re Gorgeous: How to Love Your Body in a Perfection Obsessed Society. No matter where you are when you stand on the scale, she is dedicated to helping women (and men) can create the lives of their dreams, and it all starts with building their confidence.
Nicole LaBonde wears a lot of hats: fitness instructor, entrepreneur
and public speaking coach; but regardless of the hat she is wearing, her
mission is the same – to help women build their confidence. She is dedicated to
helping women take back their power through their bodies, voices and mindset.
This is going to be a powerful hour and one the women – and girls
– in your life should hear.
