Vaxxed girl summer is in full swing, and there’s so much good energy and hope again! But summer can also be a very triggering time for a lot of people when it comes to body image and insecurities. We polled you guys on Instagram about how you’re feeling in terms of confidence and self-acceptance, and we learned that we’re definitely not alone in this feeling. 76% of you said that summer triggers your insecurities, while 77% of you are feeling anxious about re-emerging from lockdowns with all the physical and mental changes we’ve undergone. 91% of you said that you struggle with negative self-talk, and we feel you...we can all be our own worst critics and bullies.

That’s why we called in body positivity activist and the Queen of confidence, Roxy Earle. We’re on a mission to help everyone (including ourselves) positively develop the single most important relationship we’ll ever have — our relationship with ourselves. And that requires unconditional self-love, compassion, gratitude and some helpful tools to get us out of negative spirals when we’re struggling with our self-esteem or body image. 

Roxy is a former marketing professional turned model, entrepreneur, body positivity activist and a star on Real Housewives of Toronto. She started the #MySizeRox movement, which advocates that confidence comes in all shapes and sizes. She’s worked with brands like Knix, H&M, Le Chateau and Joe Fresh to bring more inclusive sizing and styles to their stores, and is launching the Ana App, which is a tool to increase positivity & confidence while also optimizing your health. 

Tune in as we chat about:

  • Gill’s mindset shift for dealing with negative spirals, finding pride and respect in herself, and abandoning clothing sizes

  • Cailyn’s newfound outlook on self-love & body image as a soon-to-be mom

  • The moment that inspired Roxy to start the #MySizeRoxs movement

  • How confidence became her secret sauce and how to cultivate it (hint: it’s not genetic, it’s accountability!)

  • Roxy’s tips for practicing positive self-talk and self-love daily

  • Why Roxy is advocating for inclusivity and representation in the fashion industry

  • How a gratitude practice can help you combat insecurities and change your life

  • Why filters and body contouring apps are unattainable, exhausting and quite honestly...boring!

  • The mindset shift to have a healthier relationship with your body

  • The importance of practicing and modelling self-love as a parent

  • The #1 tip for looking and feeling your best in photos

We hope this episode inspires you to wear the damn shorts this summer and to start loving yourself unconditionally. You deserve it. And if you need any support on your self-love journey, we’re here for you.
