62. #BreaktheTape: Building Confidence + Celebrating your Body Size (ft. Model Brittany Carel)

Do you often get frustrated when you measure you body? Do you find
yourself in between sizes? Do you feel underrepresented in
magazines or online? This is exactly what we’re attacking today:
learning to embrace the skin you’re in + set aside societal
standards. I first met Professional model Brittany Carel during the
Sports Illustrated online swim search + instantly felt drawn to her
body positivity, confidence, + transparency. She explains how she
battled a series of scrutiny in the start of her career to be
“smaller” or to tape at a specific size in order to “get serious
work” in the industry. She later embraced her body, representing a
size that’s in between industry size zero + curve. In today’s
episode, she’s teaching you how to not listen to the criticism of
others + find happiness in your own skin while still chasing your
dreams. // Want to know more about Brittany, here’s her background
