Darling Chats With: Michelle Madsen of @MichelleTakeAim | 4 of 5
Q: Instagram in particular can generate a lot of insecurity and comparison among women. what would you say to the girl who is currently struggling with this?
A: Before saying anything I think I would have us both sit down and then I would give her a hug. Then, I think I would remind her to be gentle with herself. We’ve lost this kind of self-graciousness today. Our culture has been overrun by how well (or not well) our media images are. And sadly, we all know it’s a lie. Women have been comparing themselves to each other since the beginning of time. I think this won’t stop until we’re more gentle and gracious with ourselves. It’s also a good reminder to remember that Instagram is somewhat of a highlight reel - everyone is posting their best moments and there’s no reason to compare your daily grind to highlight moments in someone else’s life.
More to come from Michelle tomorrow! #DarlingChats
