It\\u2019s no secret that the patterns and behaviors that were modeled to us in our families growing up influences our confidence. Establishing the who, what, where and why of how we were raised is so important when you\'re trying to change patterns that are no longer serving you. In this conversation, Raeann, Kristina and Rosie talk about each of their own experiences growing up and the messages they received about confidence and body image. We talk about what helped instill confidence in us, what might be affecting us still today in how we feel about ourselves, and what we want to change for future generations.

We recognize that perfection isn\\u2019t the goal, and every generation before did the best they could within the culture they also were raised in. But it\\u2019s important to recognize that we have the power to reclaim what confidence looks like for us now. We hope this conversation will show that while we can\\u2019t control our past, we can break the cycle and show the next generation what confidence really looks and feels like.

\\u201cIt\'s really important to have those dialogues with your families because I know I\'m not the only one whose families comment on their bodies and make them feel a certain way. I think that you have to express how you feel, let it go, set your boundaries and then choose to ignore it because how they feel about themselves does not need to be a reflection on how you feel about yourself.\\u201d - Kristina
