Rachel and Erin are talking today about realizing your self-worth outside of your physical body. They saw this topic being asked about on Facebook, and it’s something that they have both personally dealt with. Rachel believes that your self-identity has nothing to do with your physical attributes. We all know that we’re going to age over time, but when we’re tied to knowing who we are, then self-worth comes from within. Erin explains that we should focus on being healthy because we care about ourselves, not because we want to fit into a certain size. We are the most critical of our own being. Even though you could see someone with a seemingly perfect body, you have no idea how much pain that person may be carrying. The more in-tune we are with ourselves, the easier it is to find our identity and purpose. We need to ask ourselves, “why?” When we love ourselves whole-heartedly, what other people say won’t matter.
Enjoy the show!
