They turned black. It scared the hell out of me. Evil, wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder take place by Krivak and DePippo. Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum. I said I'm not guilty. I'll take it to the grave.

Last week we did a deep dive into the feminine and masculine and how alphas should die early. It's a huge topic on social media lately. So now we're going into another big topic that's been the primary focus of, I would bet, most people's social media feeds.
Chapter 5: How can we handle negative thoughts about our bodies?
And it's talking about the current skinny culture and body image issues and the things that we all face. Yes, all everybody who's listening to this male and female. And I think it's a really important topic that we should be addressing. So let's get into it. I'm joined this week by Yasmeen, and she is a body image coach.
And let me tell you, I found her content online because in a world of people telling us how and what we should be looking like, her content was a very refreshing reminder that I needed. So thank you for joining me today. Thank you for having me. I'm excited to talk about this because like I just mentioned, we're in a crazy world right now.
We always are, I think, in the world of body image, but this conversation is more important really now than ever.
Chapter 6: What strategies can help during triggering moments like trying on clothes?
But before we kind of get into all the fun details of all of that, talk to me about your story and why you are a body image coach, why this was so important to you. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Okay. We have to go back a little bit. I was always very aware of what people thought of me and always wanted to be liked. In high school, I really wanted to be popular.
It was a big thing that I wanted people to like me. And so I think early on as a woman, I realized that The key to people liking me was to be attractive.
Chapter 7: How do relationships influence our body image perceptions?
And so I kind of became fixated on that. It became a really big part of my identity. And when I was fresh out of high school, early into adulthood, it was the slim, thick era. So everyone wanted... curves, but like a small waist and this very particular kind of Kardashian inspired body type. And I did not naturally have that. So I got really into lifting weights to try to build that in the gym.
And I would say that just made me more obsessed with what I looked like and no matter how close I got to that ideal body type, it was never enough. I never felt better.
Chapter 8: What are actionable steps to cultivate body positivity?
I always had someone to compare myself to. Social media added to the problem. And I was just never satisfied with myself and with my body. And I thought that My physical appearance was the most interesting thing about me, the most what I had to focus on the most to be liked and to be accepted in the world.
So, yeah, I kind of experienced what it was like to feel that desire to look different and try to get closer to that and successfully get closer to that and still have that desire. And I saw through the illusion that looking a certain way would make you feel confident and great all the time because that was not the case for me.
And I also, at the same time, watched my mom struggle with muscular dystrophy, which is a disease that makes it so her muscles are just becoming weaker over time. And she isn't really able to have much of a life as a result of that. And so it was this weird contrast of I have this body that's healthy and capable of doing the things that I want it to do.
And yet I'm so fixated on wanting it to look a certain way. And in the pursuit of that ideal body, I'm completely disconnected from the body I already have. And here's a very clear example of someone close to me that I love who would give anything to have a body that could take her around the block or take her for a run. So yeah, I just realized what was happening.
I'm a very, I think very deeply and I'm all about working on myself and changing things that I need to change. And so I kind of embarked on a journey to completely
change how I viewed my body and how I related to it and it took a really long time I have successfully reached a point where I'm in a much healthier place with it and much more accepting of it and I see I look out in the world and I see how many women are affected by this and I'm deeply concerned by what's happening now with the trends kind of veering back towards thinness again and just like the complete switch up that the beauty trends have made in that regard
So that's what got me into coaching. I was like, I need to help women who are struggling with this reclaim their energy. And you touched on so many things there, and we're going to get into all of it. But I do want to draw attention to that fact that you talk about your experience with it.
I think you could talk to any woman in the world, and she has experienced some form of body image issue or any number of the complications that come with that, right? There's on the more intense spectrum of the eating disorders and things on that, but there's also just the everyday of it.
comparing our bodies to other people and i really believe that there's not a single woman in the world who has not had this experience unfortunately but talk about that experience a little bit more of like you you were feeling that and you were going through that experience while also watching somebody that you really love go through really just a completely opposite experience where they were frustrated with your body on a different level and i
