Elsa revisits a profound conversation with Annika Martins in this episode of the Get Styled podcast. They explore the intricate relationship women have with their bodies and how it influences personal style, how they feel about themselves, and how they show up in their lives. The discussion emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance, taking up space, and the power of clothing as a tool for self-expression. From Elsa: “Wherever you are on your body love journey, I hope this conversation brings you comfort in knowing that you are not alone on this journey.”

This episode was originally a bonus call in a group program Elsa formerly ran. It is interwoven with questions and commentary from participants in this course.
