#69 Teri Hofford Confidence and Self-Compassion

Elle is joined by body-image educator, photographer, and author Teri Hofford. Discussing body image and why it is more about the mind than the mirror. Teri shares tools for showing up with confidence, self-compassion, nervous-system regulation, boundaries, and getting out of “good girl” people-pleasing. Plus lessons from her viral TEDx talk and dealing with online criticism.

They explore representation of plus-size bodies on big stages, how success doesn’t erase insecurity, and practical ways to process feelings. A candid, empowering chat for creatives and leaders who want to stop letting body stories mute their mission.
