I'm willing to bet that struggling with body image and self worth is quite common for many of us. Almost daily I have to remind myself that how my body looks is the least important and interesting thing about me. But when I hear my teenage and young adult daughters body shame themselves I get down right angry. In my effort to find resources to help me help them I came across a book authored by sisters Lexi and Lindsay Kite called "More than a Body. -that book changed me! Both Lexi and Lindsey have PhDs in the study of body image and media from the University of Utah. Their research focused on harmful media messages, and they are considered experts in body image resilience and media literacy so I was thrilled when Lexi accepted my invitation to be a guest on the podcast a couple of years ago.   A little more about Lexi and Lindsay: growing up as twins they faced constant comparisons about their appearance from friends and strangers alike. As the years went by they both found themselves critical of their bodies, so much so that they gave up something they both loved to do - competitive swimming.  Years later the sisters went on to study body image and founded the nonprofit organization Beauty Redefined. For more than 10 years, the Kite sisters have been spreading their “More Than A Body” message.  In this encore episode you will learn strategies for cultivating self-compassion and resilience and ways mothers can model body positivity. I  encourage you to listen with your daughters and/ or sisters and talk about your takeaways together. It has created some wonderful, healing conversations in my house.

Depending on who you ask, plastic surgery can conjure up a lot of different images. Today, beauty ideals are changing and everyone has their own definition of beauty. World-renowned, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lara Devgan believes that plastic surgery is an art, and there's no reason you can't have it all while looking cute.  Dr. Devgan, rated the #1 female plastic surgeon in NY, has mastered the art of what she calls "facial optimization", empowering her patients to "be their own kind of beautiful" as ethically as possible. Additionally, Dr. Devgan has vertically integrated her skincare line Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty to give women access to the best medical grade skincare from the comfort of their homes. Besides being a surgeon, Dr. Lara is also a wife and mother of six who knows first-hand just how difficult it can be to balance family, business, and surgery. According to Dr. Lara, women can have it all, but not at the same time, and when faced with challenges, just take the next right step.

Have you ever thought that you were happier when you were thinner/ prettier/ younger/ etc? In a culture that values thinness and beauty, it's hard not to believe that your value lies in your appearance. We buy into arbitrary beauty ideals and false promises, killing ourselves to look a certain way. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Lindsay Kite, co-author of the book More Than a Body and co-director of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined, to talk about healing body-image struggles. You will learn... - the missing piece of the puzzle when we talk about body-image - how the male gaze affects body-image - why losing weight and changing your appearance never solves the problem - ways to combat toxic beauty ideals and build body -image resilience Remember: keeping up with beauty ideals is a losing game. Adhering to society's definition of beauty does NOT buy love, confidence, health, or happiness. Usually, it only exacerbates body-image struggles. Dr. Lindsay Kite is co-author of the book More Than a Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament (2020, HarperCollins) and co-director of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined, alongside her identical twin sister Lexie Kite. Both received PhDs from the University of Utah in the study of female body image and have become leading experts in body image resilience and media literacy. Lindsay and Lexie help girls and women recognize and reject the harmful effects of objectification in their lives through their social media activism (IG @beauty_redefined), online course (morethanabody.org), and regular speaking engagements for people of all ages. Lindsay lives in New York City.

In this episode, we meet Dr. Lindsay Kite, a Ph.D. in female body image, expert, and co-author of More Than A Body with her twin sister and fellow body image expert.

Welcome to the penultimate episode of the first season! This is a continuation of last week's episode on diet culture, and it's on loving (& even buying jeans for) the body you're currently in. From initiatives designed to educate medical professionals like Health At Every Size to movements like Intuitive Eating and Beauty Redefined to the Fuck It Diet and the Minnesota Starvation experiment, we go to great lengths to explain something that we all understood as children - our bodies are pretty fucking cool places for our souls to hang out. On Patreon we discuss how complicated it feels to be told we've lost weight, having different standards for ourselves and others (worse) moments of judgement, and going to a hypnotist for your career only to have them include weight loss suggestions in the tapes. Yoga for our Patreon subscribers ($5/month for 4-5 half hour video eps, master book list, close friends list on Insta, and our monthly Zoom yin yoga class and hang.

Happy Monday Floss Fans! Welcome to the start of a brand new mini series. Today and for the next three weeks, Floss will be chatting to an awesome cadre of guests about Body Image. This week it's the wonderful Dr. Lindsay Kite and Dr. Lexie Kite, identical twins, co-authors of the book More Than a Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament  and directors of the nonprofit company Beauty Redefined. Their instagram is on fire with body image analysis and they use their doctorates, their platform and their book to espouse essential wisdom on the ways in which we're all conditioned by capitalist patriarchy to think our perceived desirability is the most important thing about us. Floss, Lindsay and Lexie chat about the male gaze, body resilience vs body positivity and beauty standards. So many of us feel such pressure to conform to certain ideals that unpacking our own autonomy over those choices becomes increasingly complicated. We're taught to be so self-critical of the way that we look that we forget to be grateful for all the marvellous things our bodies can do. Later they deep dive into sex, and summer and how truly inhabiting your body can allow you to reclaim your rage. “Prettiness is not the rent you pay to exist in the world as a woman”- Erin Mckean “Women Don't Owe You Pretty” - Florence Given Original theme music by Black Honey.

You know that feeling when you're walking down the hall, or through a room of people and it feels like everyone is staring at you?And you know in those moments you almost start to stare at yourself?You become acutely aware of the way your clothes are hanging on your body, your posture, the way you're walking, the hairstyle you chose that day–and chances are you're not thinking about how awesome you look.There is a name for this experience.It's called self-objectification and we all do it.We're groomed for it from birth. It is at the root of so many of our own body image problems. And we're raising our kids to do the exact same thing.Self-objectification is the concept of trying to look at ourselves through the eyes of others. We cannot see our own bodies walking through the world, but we definitely imagine them and when we do, we imagine them through a lens of criticism and unworthiness. There are so many reasons we do this, and NONE of them are healthy. Today's guest at the campfire is Lexie Kite.Lexie and her identical twin sister, Lindsay, are the co-directors of Beauty Redefined, a nonprofit working to help girls and women improve their body image and self-worth as they wade through harmful cultural ideals. They are the co-authors of the book More Than a Body. Check out the full episode to hear about:Defining internalized objectification and self-objectification and how it presents in cis and trans kidsWhy expanding the definition of beauty isn't enoughWays to empower your kiddo to challenge body-centered talk and build body image resilienceFind out more about Lexie Kite:Beauty RedefinedMore Than a BodyInstagram: @beauty_redefinedTwitter: @TakeBackBeautyFacebook: @BeautyRedefinedFind out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on Instagram

I am so excited to introduce Dr Lindsay Kite! She and her identical twin co-authored the book More Than a Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament and co-director the nonprofit Beauty Redefined. They both received PhDs from the University of Utah in the study of female body image and have become leading experts in body image resilience and media literacy. Lindsay and Lexie help girls and women recognize and reject the harmful effects of objectification in their lives through their significant social media reach, online Body Image Resilience course and facilitator program for dieticians and therapists, their popular book (More Than a Body), and regular speaking engagements for thousands of people of all ages. Their work centers on the truth that positive body image isn't believing your body looks good, it's knowing your body is good, regardless of how it looks. This refined definition of positive body image provides the foundation for their work to arm people with the tools to build resilience in a culture that objectifies and commodifies bodies. I ask Lindsay how they started into this work and we talk about reassessing how we think about ourselves and our bodies. I ask her the following questions: How to talk to the next generation about their bodies. What is the difference between body positivity and body neutrality? I feel like your book "More Than a Body" is a necessary read every year for the rest of my life, do you feel the same? Valuing ourselves beyond what we look like isn't just about weight, it's about aging, it's about everything our body goes through. Let's talk about that. Let's talk about the word fat and people's reactions to the word, including shattering the world views around fatness and fatphobia. If you could narrow the book down to one major takeaway, what would it be? Is there hope for the next generation? Are we doing better?

Dr. Lexie Kite, Ph.D., and Dr. Lindsay Kite are identical twins and co-authors of the book More Than a Body: Your Body is an Instrument, Not an Ornament and co-directors of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined. Lexie explains the difference between body image resilience and body positivity, how to cope with self-objectification in a way that builds confidence, the portrayal of women in media, and ways we can view our bodies as an instrument rather than an ornament. Bridgett and Lexie also discuss raising daughters and how to find neutral ways to talk about beauty and body image with and in front of them.

Amy is joined by Dr. Lindsay Kite to discuss the burden of beauty standards, self-objectification, uncomfortable compliments, and how we can strive to escape the cycle of normative discontent. Dr. Lindsay Kite is co-author of the book More Than a Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament (2020, HarperCollins) and co-director of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined, alongside her identical twin sister Lexie Kite.

This week, twin sisters Dr. Lexie Kite and Dr. Lindsay Kite join me for a discussion on body image resilience. As women, we've been conditioned to care about how we look and as such, become fixated on our beauty and body. And for many women, only when we feel we have conformed, do we feel confident. In addition to informing us how to step into body image resilience and away from body shame, Lexie and Lindsay offer their insight about topics such as self-objectification, body shame, and how internalized misogyny is central to our self-perceptions.  “Body image resilience provides the opportunity to see the trigger as a stepping stone instead of a burden you carry around the rest of your life and cope in the same ways you've always had.” Dr. Lexie Kite Lexie and Lindsay received their PhDs from the University of Utah. Their academic research on media studies and body image inspired them to establish the non-profit Beauty Redefined in 2009 (while concluding their co-written master's thesis and beginning their doctoral research) to help women recognize and reject harmful messages about their bodies, worth, and potential, and redefine the meaning and value of beauty in their lives. In this episode you'll hear: Lexie and Lindsay's book, More Than a Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament, takes on the topics of body image positivity and a reclamation of a woman's body. They share what inspired them to write this book. (6:30) Body image resilience: what it is and why it is important for women to work to raise theirs. (8:35) Why it is important to normalize the diversity of all bodies. (28:25) Many of us are disordered eaters and we don't know it because it has been normalized in our culture. (36:12) We can prove the worst fears about ourselves are wrong. (39:44) The first step towards body image resilience includes taking inventory of your environment.

If you have ever struggled with your own body image, if you have ever had negative thoughts about how you look or if you let how you look hold you back from living life the way you want to, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU. As women, we are conditioned to believe that our worth is tied to our appearance.  Good or bad.  But it's a lie.  In this episode a panel of 6 women discuss the book More Than A Body by Lindsay and Lexie Kite.  We talk about the experiences in our lives that have shaped how we view ourselves for better or worse and what we learned about how to have a healthier view of ourselves.  Our WHOLE selves.

 Caring about those you lead means caring about the harm you may unknowingly be doing. Many of us who fit western standards of beauty and live in conventionally abled bodies don't understand how our choices can cause pain. We've internalized ableism and fat-phobia to the point where we can't even grasp how our words & deeds cause harm. In particular, in the last year, and perhaps for a while longer, many of you have come to terms with the way you operate in the world and cause pain or harm in a way you have no idea. Talking about beliefs around body, health, size, and beauty can feel like a tenuous social quagmire. Perfectionism and shame love to hang out and have a party with both mindset and mental health when tackling nuanced and vulnerable topics like this one. We breathe in the many conflicting messages on what it means to be enough, to be strong, to be worthy. Our bodies carry the burdens of these messages and beliefs. Recognizing how collusion with systems and toxic beliefs affects too many means taking action to alleviate this pain and suffering. Because accepting these standards unchecked and at face value is dehumanizing and devaluing. It's time to choose the socially and morally responsible path to learn what it means to cultivate an environment that supports rathan than harms. While many companies and organizations are stepping up and making an effort towards this, my guest today shares how the good intentions are often missing the intended - and needed - impact. Lindsay Kite, PhD is co-author of the new book More Than a Body and co-director of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined, alongside her identical twin sister Lexie Kite. They both received PhDs from the University of Utah in the study of female body image and have become leading experts in body image resilience and media literacy. Today, Lindsay and Lexie continue to help girls and women recognize and reject the harmful effects of objectification in their lives through their new book, their online Body Image Resilience course, social media activism, and regular speaking engagements for thousands of people of all ages. Listen to the full episode to hear:Self-objectification and body resilience: These are the game-changer in how you can change your outlook and approach to body anxiety.Dr. Kite unpacks what gets in the way of how we see ourselves and how that impacts our courage and how we show up in work and life.The call Dr. Kite puts out for all of us—especially those with privilege—to challenge our bias around body size personally and in our places of work. Learn more about Lindsay Kite, PhD:Morethanabody.orgbeautyredefined.org@beauty_redefined on InstagramBeauty Redefined on Facebook Learn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the Weekly Rumble Email Resources from this episode:Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA)Binge Eating Disorder: The Road to Recovery and Beyond (Book)

In today's episode of Happily Holistic, Amy sits down with Lindsay Kite, Ph.D. Dr. Kite is a co-founder of non-profit Beauty Redefined and More Than a Body LLC. Together with her sister, Lexi Kite, she works to educate women about the impact of media and culture on body image. During Dr. Lindsay and Lexi's research on the objectification of women's bodies, they found that the issue was not feeling beautiful. They came to the conclusion that many people define themselves with his, her, or their own beauty. According to Dr. Kite, creating an identity with beauty can be difficult to live with. The two women work to build a world where, “bodies are an instrument, not an ornament.” During this podcast, Amy and Lindsay talk about Dr. Kite's book More Than a Body. The book is a guide for change. It breaks down the process of developing body image resilience. Lindsay shares with us the first few steps in changing our own resilience and what we might reevaluate. We learn about the skeleton of media literacy and get incite of how knowledge can change what we spend our money on. While fighting against constantly changing media-set beauty standards, Lindsay and Lexi aim to change individual minds. They believe that the best approach is giving individuals the tools they need to push past standards set. It is redefining beauty. Listen along to learn about the struggle of body image and how it affects your everyday life. Website link: https://www.morethanabody.org/

Join Natalie and I as we talk about intuitive eating and its impact on our self image, relationships, and the ways we navigate the changing and aging of our bodies. Natalie shares how she discovered intuitive eating after facing pregnancy complications, delivering two children, enduring an urgent cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), and finding herself dissatisfied in her body, battling voices in her head in the kitchen conflicted about what she should eat. At one point in the episode, Natalie explains how Isabelle Foxen Duke's work and receiving clarity about women's bodies from a health professional prompted her journey in intuitive eating. “Oh my gosh, my body is smarter than I am,” Natalie exclaimes. “My body is doing things without me knowing why or how, but it's doing things to support me, not punish me, as it changes and ages.” Natalie shares how intuitive eating has helped her marriage and how she raises her children. At the end of the episode, Natalie shares key insights for women (two from Beauty Redefined who you can find on the web and on instagram) in feeling tension with their bodies and who struggle with perfectionism.
