94: Bridget Bennett: from Bodybuilding to Body Positivity, Embracing Self Love beyond the Aesthetics

This week Chloe and Steph interview Bridget Bennett, a holistic health and body image coach, who shares her journey from being a professional bodybuilder to advocating for body positivity. Bridget emphasizes the importance of inner work, self-talk, and mindful consumption of social media.

She introduces the "catch, challenge, change" method for improving self-talk and suggests creating lists for nourishing and nurturing activities.

Bridget's course, the Powerful Woman Project, aims to help women love their bodies without dieting. She also discusses the impact of social media and the need to follow accounts that promote body diversity.

Action Items

• Catch the negative self-talk and challenge the validity of the statements.
• Be mindful of what is being consumed on social media and unfollow accounts that make you feel bad about yourself.
• Create a list of nourishing and nurturing activities to refer to when feeling the urge to emotionally eat.
