Christina discusses her thoughts on the current state of physical attraction, body image and dating in today's society. She explores what it really means to be physically attractive, the importance of self-love and accepting yourself for who you are, the concept of attractiveness in regard to dating, and how it can affect one's self-worth.

In this episode, Christina talks about:

• Some of the causes of body image issues and how we should combat that
• How society's definition of beauty affects our perceptions of ourselves and others
• The importance of body image and what it means for your love life
• The body image and self-esteem problems that are running rampant in today's society
• Encouragement for people to feel good about their bodies, despite what society throws at them

Memorable Quotes:

"The really important thing to understand is that looking a certain way or losing a certain amount of weight does not equal more happiness. Changing your physical appearance will not fix your problems. It will not fix your insecurities."

"Thinking that losing weight or looking a certain way will fix or heal your insecurities, it's not necessarily true. There is so much more that goes into the healing process. But working on your aesthetics is definitely a component as is working on your overall health."

No relationship is perfect, and that's the same when it comes to your relationship with your body. It's not gonna be perfect. There will be good days. There will be bad days. It's gonna be ups and downs. But it's not okay to tear yourself apart. It's not okay to let someone tear you down or to compare yourself to others."
