Body confidence podcast episode and supplementary exercises in a journal

"The 52-minute long podcast episode is hosted on the How to Fail podcast featuring a conversation between its host, Elizabeth Day, and the guest, actor and activist, Pamela Anderson (It wasn't about being pretty, it was about being brave).~The podcast episode is accompanied by supplementary exercises in a journal to reinforce the body confidence messages shared during the episode. The 8-page journal (Beauty on Your Own Terms) consists of two primary activities. The first activity (A vision for your future) involves 3 questions, a 3-minute visualisation exercise, and a prompt for written reflection all intended to facilitate accepting your body as it is, rejecting societal and media pressures that define beauty narrowly, and defining beauty on your own terms. The second activity (Beauty-on-your-own-terms challenge) involves 4 exercises intended to help women reflect on what they can change about your routine and habits to start defining beauty on your own terms."
