Conversations about body image are some of the most difficult to have with our daughters. So many of us have our own struggles and insecurities and don’t know what to say, much less how to guide them through their insecurities. 

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ashley Solomon to discuss how to handle body image issues with your daughter, why avoiding the discussion is dangerous, and how to know when to seek professional help 

Show highlights include:

  • The root of why food and body image issues are so difficult to address (8:38)
  • The secret to instilling true confidence in yourself (10:38)
  • An insidious hidden danger of avoiding these conversations with your daughter (13:50)
  • Why you shouldn’t fear saying the wrong thing, and how to recover well when you do (17:03)
  • The universal core messages that you need to get across to your children (18:16)
  • How to counter dangerously incorrect info on diet and nutrition (23:07)
  • A serious sign that healthy habits are being taken too far (28:36)
  • A trick to filtering unhelpful messages from your social media (33:16)
