Many of us constantly struggle to balance self-acceptance and self-improvement in a world flooded with body standards, diet culture, and societal pressures. The battle between body positivity and the idea of hustling for a better version of ourselves can be a sensitive and complex one. Today's episode is an invitation to Kristen's journey and how you might be thinking about these two philosophies.    Let's look at a few highlights: Kristen shares how the endless chase for an ideal body meant she often neglected her actual health needs. The insidious diet culture had her trapped in a cycle of self-loathing. She was led to believe that loving yourself meant staying stagnant, and any desire to change was an act of self-hate. Body positivity is not a free pass to neglect one's health. Anti-hustle is not an escape from hard work.  Acknowledging that just because something feels uncomfortable doesn't mean it's hustle, and we can't walk away. In any endeavor, if you want to build something sustainable, you will have to work hard.   Balancing these philosophies means recognizing that we can treasure our bodies and self-worth while striving for improvement. It's a journey of discovering that loving oneself should never be an excuse for complacency. That hard work is often the path to a healthier, happier, more authentic life. So, let's look at our habits, address the areas where we've made excuses, and make the changes necessary to achieve actual, sustainable results.   Introducing the Social Selling Leadership School: A 12-week Advanced Leadership Certification program for Network Marketers.
