Show Notes
When we are making clothes for ourselves, the process of creating and fitting those clothes is intimately tied to our bodies. And if there is internal conflict or self-doubt associated with our body then that can impact our enjoyment and success in creating garments that we love.
In this week's episode I wanted to shed light on the importance of fostering a healthy body image, how to go about it if you aren't feeling super positive yet, and the impact it can have on your creativity when you do.
I'm delighted to be joined by Becky Upchurch, a mindset coach passionate about empowering individuals, particularly women, to embrace a positive body image. We delves into the pervasive issue of how body image affects personal creativity and self-expression, especially in the realm of dressmaking.
Becky brings a unique perspective, blending her expertise in mindset coaching with a deep understanding of the challenges that come with body image issues. She highlights how societal pressures, personal insecurities, and the struggle of comparison can negatively influence our perception of our body and, consequently, our creative expression.
You'll learn strategies to combat negative thought patterns and societal pressures related to body image. Becky shares practical tips on setting achievable goals, reframing negative thoughts, and cultivating a more compassionate and accepting view of your body.
And that's not all - she has also created a downloadable guide for you that guides you step by step to uncover unhelpful thoughts and create a simple, easy to apply action plan to start changing how you think and feel about your body. You can find the link to the guide here: https://sewmuchmorefun.co.uk/episode77
I hope you enjoy Becky's tips and guidance as much as I did.
