Learning to accept, support, and belong to ourselves first can seem like a never-ending battle for adults, and the pressure our adolescent kids are facing around these topics feels even greater. But I believe this kind of support and care of our own selves is one of the answers to creating more peace inside our lives and the world. I think we can all agree this is what is desperately needed right now. Today's guest, Author, Activist, and Dove Self-Esteem Project Educator, Rosie Molinary, and I dive into these topics and so much more. Take a look at today's talking points [9:10] Rosie's "lightbulb moment" Looking back with perspective and kindness [11:00] The consequences of looking outside yourself for validation Roller coaster ride of other people's perceptions Putting people into boxes [20:30] How purpose leads to healing Having a healthy relationship with yourself helps you be in touch with your purpose and that's what the world needs [23:11] Our kids don't need us to be perfect in order to be good role models Have honest, unpolished conversations with your kids Be aware of what you say about yourself in front of your children [29:40] Gently setting boundaries around non-negotiable "you time" Rosie's advice on how to come back to yourself Knowing what your signs of burnout and overwhelm are and what to do about it Creating an intervention tool kit for you and your middle schooler [41:50] The impact of gender expression on body image Beliefs about ourselves lead to certain behaviors that show up for girls AND boys The fundamental desire to belong isn't gender binary Parents, if you or your adolescent have ever struggled to accept yourself, your body, or to prioritize your own needs first - this is for YOU. ~Listen in now to repair your breakdown and replenish yourselves~ People, places, and things mentioned in the episode: Beautiful You: A Daily Guide to Radical Self-Acceptance by Rosie Molinary Check out more of what Rosie is up to on her website 2 Free Giveaways: #1: a personalized pep talk for you or your adolescent, #2: YOU BELONG poster you can easily print for you or your kid's personal space PS.

Donna and Rachel are friends who aren’t afraid to ask questions, laugh loudly, obsess freely and covet vintage items. The pair created the Smart Mouth Life Podcast to celebrate women who run their mouths and the world. Today's episode features Rosie Molinary, the author of Beautiful You: A Daily Guide to Radical Self Acceptance and Hijas Americanas: Beauty, Body Image, and Growing Up Latina. Rosie serves as a national Dove Self-Esteem Project educator and is a committed activist who helped to establish HAMMERS, a non-profit initiative to provide emergency home repair for low income families in her community, and Circle de Luz, a non-profit that radically empowers young Latinas by supporting their transformation through extensive mentoring, holistic programming and scholarship funds for further education.
April 11, 2016 “Our responsibility is not to match the standard of beauty that we’re given in the advertising world. Our responsibility is to feel well enough so we can go out and do what’s purposeful and passionate for us.” -Rosie Molinary I think of PCOS Diva and the work that I do as helping women move beyond the pain, struggle and symptoms of PCOS so that they, in turn, can live the life they were meant to live and shine their light without PCOS holding them back. Self-acceptance is a really important piece of that. I often recommend Rosie Molinary’s book, Beautiful You: A Daily Guide to Radical Self-Acceptance to my clients, family and friends. Rosie’s message of radical self-acceptance is powerful and potentially life changing. Listen in as we discuss: How to build a positive, healthy relationship with ourselves Recognizing that your worthiness is your birthright The body warrior pledge Defining your own beautiful.
When Rosie Molinary was looking in the mirror at her frizzy, unruly hair in the dead of summer and freaking out over what product would 'tame the mane,' she had an epiphany: 'I have bought into the beauty myth of what society says I should look like.' She told herself, 'I'm going to work with boys in an alternative school. Not one of them will care about the texture of my hair, but they will care about how I will make them feel. Who am I trying to get approval from?' And she set down her straightener and walked out the door as her natural, beautiful self... already good enough. Rosie is the champion of 'radical self-acceptance' -- the belief that you are worthy enough just for being born and the idea that you don't have to do ANYTHING to prove your worth. Radical self-acceptance is the choice to not have an adversarial relationship with yourself. Instead, you choose to accept your own humanity in the same way you accept the humanity of others. Tune in as we discuss how to practice radical self-acceptance using examples from Rosie's life, including her experience growing up with brown skin in a predominantly white neighborhood, what really surprised her when she wrote her first book Hijas Americanas: Beauty, Body Image, and Growing Up Latina (Seal Press), and how she handles difficult questions from people, like her adoption of a boy from Ethiopia. Rosie believes 'we can teach people who aren't in the same place as us a better way to use language for the future.' Her book Beautiful You: A Daily Guide to Radical Self Acceptance (Seal Press), is an ideal tool to walk yourself through daily practices of self-acceptance, sure to induce 'spiral ups' and more self-compassion in your Body Kindness journey. --- About Rosie As a radical self-acceptance champion, Rosie Molinary uses profound questions and wholehearted connection to empower people to treat themselves well so they can connect with their talents and passions to authentically and intentionally live their purpose and help heal the world.

This includes accepting our needs and accepting the space we take up in the world. Our bodies are NOT meant to be controlled!! They will change constantly as we get older. Rosie Molinary joins to talk about body image! We ALL have something unique to offer the world. So much of our pain is related to our lack of awareness around our own self-worth. We are all fighting for our worth! Remember, our worth isn't rooted in our appearance. So how do we find our worthiness outside of our earth suit? We must remind ourselves that we are worthy simply by EXISTING! We pour energy and money into how we physically look in order to feel accepted... but this removes resources from experiences in our lives that might have the potential to EMPOWER us instead of disempower us. Diet culture and the beauty ideal PROFIT off of our insecurities. Self-acceptance is a journey!! All experiences are moments of information, rather than moments for judgment. Get curious! Unpack the internalized messages we have been taught about appearance and self-worth. We have to accept that our bodies ALWAYS change... so we can't attach our worth to one stagnant version of our bodies, because that will always be in flux. Imperfect cannot exist if there's no "perfect" in the first place... resist messaging around "effortless" perfection! The images we see of our world in the media are NOT REAL! We have to anchor our faith and belief in ourselves to how we FEEL, rather than how we look. Shaming ourselves NEVER works! It's actually very damaging, and it's not health promoting... we have to operate from a place of self-acceptance instead. Remember, self-acceptance doesn't mean that you don't want to grow in some way. But it does assert your worthiness RIGHT NOW, no matter what growth you achieve down the line. We're the experts of our own bodies! Self-acceptance is a super ACTIVE process. How do we give ourselves what we need every single day?

Episode's Key Points: Around age five or six, all children go through "Adiposity Rebound." This usually means that developmentally, children will gain weight to prepare for growth in the next few years. Our bodies as kids change so drastically all the time! We live in a fat phobic society!! It's a disgusting reality, but we live in a culture that is not accepting of larger bodies. If an adolescent in your life comes to you and says they want to lose weight, go on a diet, or start an exercise regimen, DO NOT offer to go on it with them! This sends the message that their body needs fixing. Instead, let them know that you will love them no matter what, unconditionally. Every BINGE starts with RESTRICTION!! There are so many people who understand this struggle, feel shame around their eating behaviors, and experience the tug of war of bingeing and restricting. Stop the food fight and take a rest! Dieting and restriction are the SAME THINGS!! The more we restrict and the more we sit in shame, the more we binge. There is a function of binge eating disorder! Bingeing can help us to disconnect from discomfort. Recovery from binge eating disorder takes, on average, six to seven years. Do so with the help of an eating disorder dietitian and a whole team of experts! Eating disorders are complicated because they include elements of mental health along with cultural issues of size acceptance. We live in a world that hasn't recovered from its own eating disorder yet!! Counseling and therapy are KEY elements to recovery! Work with a counselor and a dietitian together to help you along your journey and speed up your recovery process. You're worth recovery!! Shame is a HUGE weight on our shoulders... remove it with the help of professionals! You CAN find balance and food peace!! Show Notes: Link to subscribe to the weekly FREE Food Peace Newsletter.
