Body Rules We Never Agreed To

Body Rules We Never Agreed To

<p>Body shame shows up early and sticks around longer than any of us asked for. We’re letting go of the shame we didn’t choose and getting honest about the messages we internalized without even noticing. A listener letter takes us deeper, and a quick detour through Player’s Club/BET Uncut chaos keeps it real. A soft drag and a soft landing, all at once.</p><p>If you’re more of a visual girlie, catch up on episodes on our <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@HowToBReal">YouTube channel</a></p><p>AAAND…</p><p>💌 Send us a letter or question to be featured on the show, <strong>[email protected]</strong></p><p>😉 Subscribe for more conversations that go beneath the surface</p><p>🎧 Find us on <a target="_blank" href="https://howtobereal.my.canva.site/htbr-pod-page">Apple + Spotify</a></p><p>📩 Join our Substack: <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/users/330576002-how-to-be-real?utm_source=mentions">How To Be Real</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
