I think the comments around her appearance here are disappointing.
Not trying to moderate here just point out she does a lot for body positivity (or at least tries to)
She’s often telling people to celebrate their bodies for what they do for us not how they look. She does put energy into trying to get peoples minds away from toxic/damaging portrayals of women and how the media and social media create unrealistic expectations of women as to what’s acceptable and how they ‘should’ look.
I just don’t like calling someone out for their appearance in any case but especially someone who does do a lot to reassure others to be body confident.
Also she’s getting called out here for not working her angles or trying to make herself look the most attractive she can, yet when she is preaching her body positivity she gets called out for being skinny and attractive (read earlier entries on this thread)
Anyway that’s my two cents and to be honest my ‘issue’ with her is her dishonesty or contradictory behaviour/messages.
Like I’m pretty sure there’s a filter on the first photo as was there on the post the other day in which she was working out, the cover photo clearly had a filter on. So please if you are going to raise an issue and state you’re not going to feed into a problem, please don’t.
I do think she has a negative self image and I worry she’s taking money from other women to help them but I don’t think her learnings have managed to help her so far. Obviously this is just my opinion and I could well be wrong.
Similarly (and what brought me to this thread) is that she advertises herself, or used to at least, as a female empowerment coach yet she still seems to subscribe to unfair gender stereotypes. One that sticks out is accusing women of being gossips. Some women are yes, but so are some men so why reinforce an unfair, negative stereotype of women? I’ve also seen her like a comment referring to women as ‘bad mouth bitches’...not really empowering to women is it?
Now I know I’ve posted on this thread, once about a dishonest post of hers and another around her selling used knickers - because I do think that is gross which is why you can’t return underwear or bikini bottoms to a shop, but I don’t think anyone deserves to be judged on their appearance especially someone who does their best to end scrutiny of appearances.
Anyway not throwing shade here at all not saying any of you are wrong to have an opinion, you’re certainly not, but this is my opinion anyway.
