I used to think poor body image was an issue unto itself. I’ve since come to realize that poor body image and the obsession around it has a far reach, preventing women, in particular, from being powerful forces in the world. In other words, when we are spending time obsessing over our bodies and how (ugly) they are, we are not spending time and energy, and money, and intelligence on other things. Like developing a spiritual practice or ending global warming.
This is a problem.
In an effort to address this problem, I’ve crafted a workshop – and now a FREE teleseminar so you can call from anywhere – on this very topic. It’s happening on Thursday, June 3 at 8pm ET and, if you’re a woman, I would really love to have you participate. Really.
In the meantime, take a look at this video from Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty and think about the standard to which you’re holding yourself.

Got the email and am VERY interested! Hoping that Thursday night stays open. If not, will you be posting a follow-up write up?
Nicole – it would be GREAT to have you! It’s possible I’ll do a write-up. I’m also thinking, if there’s enough interest, of putting together a summer coaching group around this topic. Let me know if you’d be interested in that. And feel free to go ahead and register for the call and if you can make it – great! – and if you can’t, I’ll just keep you in the loop.
