## Resource

In this episode, I'm joined by Aoife O'Brien to explore what positive body image actually means beyond the buzzwords. We dive into the difference between body confidence and body acceptance, and why constantly trying to "love how you look" isn't always realistic — or necessary. We talk about the impact of social media, comparison, and diet culture on how we see ourselves, and how self-worth often gets tied to appearance without us even realising it. Aoife shares practical ways to start improving your relationship with your body, building self-trust, and shifting focus away from how you look to how you live. If you've ever struggled with body image, confidence, or feeling "not good enough," this episode offers a more grounded, compassionate approach that actually works in real life.
