Body image messages are everywhere, which in turn causes some to question their self-esteem and value. Social media sets up constant chatter and provides an easy upload to capture the “perfect” picture. If a person feels dissatisfied with an image, there is a way to color correct, embellish, modify, or tuck away. Swimming in a sea of social media images, people often pop from a post about a family member, AD, or pictures of friends and peers.
Harnessing Healthy Relationships
Relationships are multi-faceted and brimming over with messages and meaning, whether in-person, by phone, text, app, or social media. Every adult and child learns how to communicate, expressing what their relationships mean to them. Some messages and behaviors are poisonous, leaving people hurt and stunned with what happened. Other times, words and actions affirm a deeper connection and growth, restoring appreciation in humanity.
Finding Your Edges: Beautiful Boundaries

Take a moment to review the boundaries in your life! If you reevaluate some of your relationships, expect tension to surface. After all, it might be the first-time you are becoming aware, changing personal behaviors, standing up for yourself, and even challenging dysfunction.
