GS Mission: Sisterhood! Journey Session 4- The Image Myth

Any time I thought to myself, “Do these pants make my butt look big?” I was perpetuating the Image Myth. It never occured to me that those kinds of questions were messing with my psyche, forcing me to judge myself. It didn’t help that I was a tomboy who grew up in LA, periodically checking out fashion magazines and comparing myself to tall, skinny models. I didn’t see anybody who looked like me so I grew up thinking that I wasn’t beautiful. Only later did I come to embrace my strong body and all that my muscles let me do and, yes, that I am at beautiful, especially after a grueling workout.

Some of my favorite magazine photos occasionally show celebrities without makeup. Those photos remind me that what the rest of the world sees isn’t the real person at all. It’s a construct, a lie or a moment frozen in time, possibly with lots of makeup who didn’t…

GS Mission: Sisterhood! Journey Session 5-Know Thyself

Everyone says that girls need to have high self-esteem but if you are like me, I never learned to think that way about myself. Good girls didn’t think that way and it was somehow conceited to say that you had a lot of self confidence. Over time, I’ve found myself and discovered that I do give value to society and that in turn builds self-esteem in an authentic way. I hope that any girls I’ve worked with are faster learners that I was.
