Your Body, Your Best Friend: Exploring Toxic Beauty Standards with Erica Mather

The Whole Stepfamily

As we head into the holiday season, the inevitable swath of calorie-shaming memes, diet propaganda, and weight loss scams are heading our way.

This week's special guest, Erica Mather, has a powerful and profound message to share with us.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The truth about dieting, and why it is "violent" in our society today
• How to develop a useful relationship with your body and body image
• A short, beautiful mindfulness moment to begin to see your body as your best friend
• A recipe for a rejuvenating electrolyte drink
• Poisonous mindset traps that keep folks in an unhealthy state with how they see themselves
• The architecture of Erica's new book: Your Body Your Best Friend, and the many reasons it will change your life by reframing the relationship you have with your body

About Erica Mather:

Erica helps people feel better in and about their bodies. As a yoga therapist, she helps people adjust their attitudes and mindsets about their bodies, which are often at the root of how we handle crucibles like injury, illness, and aging. When a crisis arises, she's also there to help manage the physical and emotional repercussions of injury, illness, and aging.

Erica is the author of Your Body, Your Best Friend: End the Confidence-Crushing Pursuit of Unrealistic Beauty Standards & Embrace Your True Power (New Harbinger 2020). For those people who aren't able to access my services first-hand, through Yoga Therapy, or my Adore Your Body Programs, the book is a foundational resource for improving your body image, and relationship to your body.
