You know something that just came to me when Somebi was talking about how she didn't like wearing chiffon clothes then, was how really our bodies were not made for clothes, but clothes for our bodies. Like instead of obsessing about squeezing and making this clothe work, we can get what works for our body. I also think yes, there's a balance. Not being at the extreme of obsessing over our bodies and not at the extreme of not caring about our bodies, what we eat, how active we are. I love finding that balance for myself, because I know I do care about looking and feeling amazing, but obsessing, comparing, and feeling sad? Miss me with that. Thank God for the holy spirit too, the best teacher ❤️

[@EzinneZara]

I love this! Yes & yes

[@victorynwachukwu1160]

Love, love, love this. So much agree. There is A Balance for Sure. Thank God for His Help.

[@Oluwatomisin.Oyelakin]

there’s a lot to take from this podcast. Beauty fades and we have to learn to build our confidence/identify beyond the physical appearance…

[@EzinneZara]

Yes, that’s what I was driving at

[@Nicethestoryteller]

This is why most people are depressed, because they feel, they're not beautiful enough.

Oh for sure

[@potofflavours]

Thank you for sharing. I had crazy body insecurity growing up. I have always been a slim person and the term "lepa" use to annoy me, my figure 8 aunts didn't even make it easy for me, they use terms , like, okpelenge, egotamo bus( skeleton is clinging on a bus) to describe me, oh goodness I dreaded those names. I remember buying weight-on drugs growing up as a teenager and wishing I had large hips and big bum like my tribe , because people would say you don't look Yoruba and I know what that meant and I really wanted to look my tribe by all means. Also, my boobs wasn't as big as my younger cousin and they and made fun of me. I remember looking for a certain ant I heard makes the boobs grow big ( kuluso) I would pick all sort of ant and place them on my boobs so it bite my boobs for my grow. I have so many stories, really, its was the society that put unnecessary pressure on me, before any media, am so grateful for growth. I have learnt to love myself just the way I am, concentrate on eating healthy and keeping fit.

[@EzinneZara]

Wow, this is so crazy :( I’m sorry you had to go through this & glad that you’re coming out on the other side. Thank you for sharing

[@Pidginenglishnation]

Even with the most beautiful body it takes an accident or illness for it to be taken away. When a woman positions herself as a commodity, she is often treated like an acquisition even in marriage. This podcast is timely. Well done

[@EzinneZara]

Hmmm interesting, I’ve never thought of it this way

[@SisterAmaka]

Listen! The point about accidents and illness. Age nko? This life is just vanity. I wish there was a way to disconnect from this bodily consciousness

“Your body is not a fashion trend” Preach 👏🏾

[@chimamandaleo]

Body dysmorphia is real and It isn’t spoken about well enough because when someone gives room to express their discomfort towards their body, a lot of people just shut them out unintentionally by saying “you’re beautiful the way you are”. While that statement is true, it still doesn’t tackle the insecurity. I strongly believe when someone struggles with insecurities as in relation to their body, room should be made to converse about it THEN build on the broken mindset.

[@Captain_Mimah]

I love the way you and your sister talkkk✨ such a free and non-toxic environment for a conversation. You taking breaks for each other to talk, I love and respect that🖤

[@Journeys_with_Jodie]

For a long time, I had a poor body image because of my slim stature. Also, just like Somebi said, people often tell me how beautiful my body is. They often call me a model but I find it hard to see what they're saying in myself. By God's grace, my view of my body is changing. Thank you, Ezinne and Somebi for this. ❤️

[@jackiemalia7957]

Same here.. I'm loving this body each single day!

[@laurauche2331]

“It’s that let your waist not look like you’ve intestine” 😭😭 This conversation is very insight 😮‍💨

[@EzinneZara]

😂😭

[@gracedarah3372]

If you can't change something, accept it. Accepting who you are and how you look comes with so much peace. It's not an easy journey, but be intentional about getting there cuz you deserve the peace that comes with embracing who you are. More grace Ezinne!

[@penielezeokeke3315]

Omo. This body conversation...my biggest issue has always been looking like a child. I would look at pictures of friends I went to secondary school with and how 'grown' they look and compare that with how I look basically like I did when I left secondary school (in my head anyways). It's still something I struggle with but God is helping me. So lovely to hear you two talk about it 🥰 And btw Ezinne you're so right about the K-pop fashion thing. Korean fashion is being seriously marketed rn. The media eh

[@hannahharris5444]

This video is so relatable and to be honest, I feel like 99.9% of women especially have or still feel this way. It’s like there’s this pressure while growing up as a girl to always match the trend the society has placed in a season. I went from praying to God to make me curvier like my mates to begging God to take the curves away. The Holy Spirit really had to teach me that my identity is not in how my body looks but in what God has said about it. That when God created me, He looked at me and called me good and beautiful. I used to feel if I look this certain way, I’d have more friends and all that. I’m just so grateful for the Holy Spirit. Knowing our identities in Christ would help us so much. And what Somebi said about looking for what suits your body type is so smart 😂, never really considered that.

[@__wigsndthings]

🌟🌟🌟 True

[@miracleoluwasanmi]

It was beautiful to listen in while I prepared for my day. Weldone Ezinne!!! Thanks Somebi for being vulnerable. God bless you both!

[@EzinneZara]

Amennn!

[@gloriaoluwafikayomi]

Somi’s story is so relatable. Before I entered uni too, I didn’t care what my body looked like.😂 Thank you guys!🥺

[@LadyLeeyoh]

I used to feel insecure about showing off my legs because my calves are protruding. But later, I got over it as I grew older and appreciated how beautiful I look. I learnt about clothes that will make me look cute and even make my physical flaws look beautiful.

[@Style_Spetrum]

I can relate to your sister's story. I started feeling insecure of my body when I was in year one.

[@EzinneZara]

Hmm :(

[@estheraneke232]

I still struggle with low self-esteem mostly because i feel insecure about my skinny body. Crazy, how I've become obsessed with idea of having a perfect figure and looking a bit fatter. And this is something i need to work on. God help me. Btw, i enjoyed today's episode. I learnt a lot, especially what Somebi said about finding the right clothes that'd fit my body type. Probably, the right clothes might boost my confidence.

[@Adimchukwunaobi]

This is so me!

[@EzinneZara]

So sorry to hear this & happy to know that our conversation is helping 🤎

[@__wigsndthings]

Yes ,dress to flatter your body 🌝🌝.You are beautiful and unique.The shape of your body doesn't determine your value.😌.You are perfect.

[@_immaculata]

I loveeeeddddd this episode. Such a needed conversation to be honest. And i love how sincere it is, and not trying to be diplomatic. I love it, I've listened like thrice ish at this point😂 Wrote down so many key things too!! God bless you Ezinne and Somebi. "Ezinne, this is not you, but this is the vessel or the container that God has put the essence of who you are in. And whatever God has chosen to do is good. And honestly I just stopped caring so much..." Ahhhh!!! Yesssss❤️

[@ladunorole6760]

Your sis is always serving nailssss 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥 fineeeeee ones. And we're here for it!!!!!

[@chizaramogbonna8766]

Funny how I'm just stumbling on this video now. I honestly had to pause the video to search Somebi Leo, because I myself had body insecurities, but wasn't about being curvy. But actually, your body is not bad at all Somebi.

[@amarachizeal1830]

Just like you said, I think the media has a huge role to play in stigmatising ladies with the "imperfect" body type. The truth is that trend changes as time goes by. Being skinny used to be "perfect" now it's being curvy. I have body shamed myself probably more than i have sneezed in this life😂. But I thank God that mindset is changing gradually. Thank you Ezinne Zara for this podcast, it is really timely. I look forward to more of this🥰. P.S.: I must say that Somebi is a complete vibe😄

[@Captain_Mimah]

And I love how it's a normalll conversation, no hiding, no shying, just a conversation ladies actually have

[@graceobi623]

This was definitely for me ,I grew up with people insulting me from secondary school for been thin and not having so big features and it's caused trauma for me that I find it so hard to accept my body type and dress to my body type ...thanks for this 💕

[@thoughtsbyheavens]

This is great. I love that fact that Somebi is transparent. I remember going into College and I wanted to start fixing my nail because whenever my elder sister comes home for holidays she was on a whole new level. But my mum always disagreed and cautioned me telling me I was still a baby at age 18 oh. That actually affected me because I can't even fix my nails as at now because I still carry that mentality of me still being a Child. I feel when you go into College you start letting a particular thing define and you try to act like the Crowd so you don't get left behind. That's why we have the Holy Spirit though😇

[@ChiMira991]

Crazy how I was actually thinking this same topic yesterday....I thought to myself, at some point in history, my body type was the rave in fashion, very slim/slender and somehow, that gave me peace in the sense that fashion comes and goes and I won't kill myself trying to fit into the idea of a perfect attractive body.

[@owenikponmwosa7315]

I honestly enjoyed listening to this podcast!! For the longest of time I have always hated my body!! Right from primary school I was bullied because of how extremely slim I was 🥺😪 I kept on trying and trying to add weight but I was the type of person that didn’t really enjoy eating. I’m secondary school I finally added weight I had bust not too big but obvious and then I had hips and my hips, I felt it was triangle and too obvious 😢😢 one thing I have taken aww from this podcast is that trying to fit into societies definition of perfect body is tiring and never ending.this podcast has really helped me❤.

[@abbas_jewel]

Listening to this episode just made it dawn on me for the first time "every body type is beautiful!". Cos it made me google body types and the clothes that fit and they're actually all really beautiful! This was a very insightful and interesting episode and I'm so glad I listened. About to watch the video now☺️❤

[@vickeealade1946]

I love this video!❤ I just learned from it that the media is a variable but God is constant. God gave me this body and called me 'FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE' so settling for what the media portrays is a waste of time because their opinions keep changing. Thank you so much Somebi and Ezinne you both are amazing!❤

[@MissTracyyy223]

My own is that I’m very short so my friends and family always make fun of me, my friends look down on me and act very condescending because I’m not tall and curvy like they are, they even use it to make fun of me and I don’t even get suitors, a beautiful young lady like me but still I barely attract good, reasonable men, when I do get attention it’s from lowlives 😪 it’s so frustrating tbh

[@winifredegwame5832]

Me and you same boat, but I believe God has a plan for me. I refuse to accept less for myself. Just this morning, I felt like crying cos I don't attract the kind of men I would like to be with. Most times I don't want to go out.

[@oluwapelumiolayanju]

This is really nice. Sometimes what people say and how they about other people's body type especially for those who are plus size push them to do unimaginable things and that's sad.

[@nicoleochieng72]

I just love how this has given me a lot to think about especially on the "motive behind why I would like my body to look a certain way" and also "researching about my own body type so I can dress for my body". Amazing stuff right there!! Thank you guys so much for the guiding tips!!❤️❤️ The podcast was so full of substance!!✨✨

[@EzinneZara]

Yay! 😁

[@Id_thasha]

I've actually struggled with the way I look for the longest time and it got worse when people started body shaming me,but now I have actually come to accept my body the way it is,because that is how I was created and I shouldn't let peoples words get the best of me.

I listened to it earlier today and I love it so much. Been trying to actullay figure out my body type and what suits me. Thank you Ezinne and Somebi💕

[@victorynwachukwu1160]

Yeah I loved this podcast. Let me not forget to add it really takes the Holy Spirit's help to undo the worrying about your shape, desiring other's own and comparing yourself to others. That mindset of "I wish my body..." is a phrase that no longer exists in my mind. I admire what others have, while being absolutely grateful to God for what I am, bc variety highlights the beauty of God. So the Holy Spirit is there to help, cry out to Him💙.

[@TheFunmiCoker]

Beauty standards come and go it’s important build your confidence beyond your physical appearance.

Thanks so much for this Ezinne.This podcast is for me, it spoke to me. I have always been insecure about my body because I have hip dips...This year I have been intentionally working on my walk with God, loving Him and doing things that please Him. The truth is I can't be building my love for God and still be struggling or finding it hard to love His hard work(my body),so I have been intentionally working on loving my body and now this podcast came up. Thanks so much once again

I just kept screaming “yes!!!” the whole video😭 y’all are speaking to meeee!!!

[@owenikponmwosa7315]

I’m so happy that you started this podcast talking about self love, body love and all that good stuff❤. Can we talk about how enhancement products have now become the order of the day!!! It has become so bad and alarming in the society and especially on social media!! To the extent that a lot of influencers help influence these products to the public. As I mentioned in my first comment I really struggled with loving my body even till now it’s still a bit hard. Every time I come on social media it’s either an influencer is showing of their enhanced body and the products they use to get this body i really put myself under so much pressure at a point I was even considering buying them because I wanted bigger butt since that has become the order of the day now 😂😂 but I think one thing that has kept me away is the fact that I don’t really know what people use in making these things and I don’t know how these products will affect me in the long run!! It’s really and truly sad to see how social media has become our first source of validation 😢😢. I pray that anyone here who has low self esteem or is struggling to love themselves and their body, I pray that God will help you see yourself the way he see’s you and I pray that he will help you fall in love with your self daily ❤.

Interesting topic. Very relatable. I used to have insecurities about my body when I was younger because I didn't like the attention I was getting because of it. So I would wear big clothes and I didn't like to wear trousers because I felt that it would make my butt more obvious. But I had to learn to love my body

[@missfefeloves]

This video is on point. I was having the exact same conversation with my sis and how disfunction and stupid trends has taken over society. People are not like humans anymore they dont live for God but for validation. I have so many insecurities about my body and its exhausting I'm still trying to pray so God will give me the body I want.

[@Chinaza0keke]

I love every bit of this conversation. There’s a kind of unity God teaches us that doesn’t look like sameness. Where individualism remains a priceless factor even as a body. I’m so grateful honest conversations like this are available whenever someone starts to turn a new leaf. Thank you Ezinne❤

[@favouresoheorobosa8468]

I actually think the media really has a lot in defining the "PERFECT" body shape. I remember discussing with my sis about how we don't used to care about mothers and their body shape after shape,but now is like "God abeg oh, let me be fine still."

[@SisterAmaka]

This was a really chill convo, Ezi! I struggled with bodily confidence from a very young age, partly because of the way my mum used to comment on my body. I then was teased a bit for not having a big bust and bum while in high school. I desired it. Now, I understand that my body shape will be in seasons. I love my slim frame (plus the small hips I got) and especially when I know things like childbirth and age will take this flat stomach away one day, I cherish these moments and years even more. I wish everyone could come to this body positivity - however I understand I probably had it more easy on this path because I am slim and my type of body is usually more "desirable" and "socially acceptable" than some other body shapes.

I love this . Most times we think changing a part of our body or our appearance will make us more acceptable and think "if I look this way or change this I would look be better". I think everyone should deal with their inner self, it's a fight to love yourself even when the world tells you otherwise. Overall, this was lovely Ezinne I always look up to you.
