#23- BODY IMAGE & RETAIL: How to Push Back On Arbitrary Body StandardsDescription
I'm BACK from an unexpected hiatus!
Let me just preface this episode with a HUGE apology!
I had my shop music up louder than I thought, so you will here a lot of background static and noise. The Last Shadow Puppets had me feeling the feels the day I recorded this episode :)
In today's episode, I'm going back to a topic that I will never tire of speaking about and that's fashion and body image.
How has decades of social media and print media eroded many people's sense of body image?
Why are the sizes and numbers used to make us feel excluded from the fashion conversation completely arbitrary?
Let's do a little history dive into why we have "Standard Sizing" and why it's complete bull.
