Whether you are active on social media or not, it’s probably had an impact on your life in one way or another. Let’s be honest—most of us have a love-hate relationship with it, and it’s the same story when it comes to how it impacts our relationship with food and body image. But, hey, why delete Instagram when you can just add more stress to your life, right?

But here’s the thing: they are two completely different lifestyles. Both people are in different phases of their lives with perhaps significant differences in resources and personalities (and lots of other things) and are not in a place to compare one another. This is the comparison trap that oftentimes it has an unintended impact on one’s relationship with food and self-esteem.

In this episode we have the honor of hanging out with one of New York City's best therapists, named by New York Magazine, Jennifer Glass. Jennifer graduated from NYU with a master's in social work, completed her post grad training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Training Institute for Mental health, and has a private practice in NYC.

In this conversation, we dive right into how to use curiosity to develop resilience, and how this then provides us with intentional choice. Goodbye harmful comparisons! 

In this episode, Rachel Tuchman shares what health actually means and how it differs for each person. We talk about HAES, anti-diet and body positivity culture, and shares how society has contributed to having poor body image and disordered eating. We take deep dive on how social media has exacerbated these issues. Stay tuned for resources at the end!
