From Body Image Struggles to Female Leadership: Why True Women’s Wellness Starts with Self-Worth
For too long, we’ve been told that our self-worth is tied to our waistline, turning body image into a constant battleground rather than a source of strength.
The pressure to conform to certain beauty standards is all around us, often making us feel like our value is determined by how we look. Society pushes us to meet specific expectations, making it hard to focus on what really matters: our health, our personal growth, and who we truly are. It’s time to shift our focus to true women’s wellness, where we focus on nurturing ourselves instead of trying to meet external expectations..
In this episode of Wellness Rebranded, we talk with AliceAnne Loftus, founder of Leading Lady Coaching. AliceAnne has dedicated her work to supporting women in leadership, while also building communities where women support, empower, and amplify other women. In 2023, she took a bold leap to make her community a diet culture free safe zone.
We discuss the power of women supporting women and how creating spaces for empowering women in business can have a lasting impact. Alice Anne shares her personal story of struggling with body image and how she learned to embrace body positivity and intuitive eating. She talks about how shifting her focus from external expectations to her own well-being changed her approach to leadership and life.
This episode is for anyone who has felt trapped by societal beauty standards or stuck in the cycle of diet culture. Here’s what you’ll get to learn:
Body image pressure can pull focus from your goals, relationships, and daily life
Self-worth is not earned through discipline, size, or approval
Intuitive eating can help you rebuild trust with food and your body
Women’s wellness includes mental health, stress, and support, not just appearance
Body positivity grows faster in rooms built on women supporting women
Join us as we rethink what it means to take care of ourselves and each other in both our personal lives and our businesses.
