It’s time to embrace yourself

FOREWORD BY TERESA PALMER

I first watched Embrace on a flight from Australia to Los Angeles and was profoundly affected by what I saw. I was on my way to attend the 2017 Academy Awards. I had just birthed my second child, had not yet shed the baby weight and was days away from walking the biggest red carpet of my career. I felt I was under the watchful eye of Hollywood – an industry that is rife with both scrutiny and self-criticism – but watching Embrace carried me through those anxiety-ridden days and the weeks that followed.

The media would have us believe we need to reach a standard that is simply not realistic. Making people feel inadequate is a very profitable business! I have been photoshopped and airbrushed a thousand times over, which in the past has led to a private struggle in separating who I am from the way I look. I personally know so many women who suffer through this same battle, but watching Embrace reminded me that the issue is much bigger than many of us realise. We are in the midst of a heartbreaking epidemic…

It’s time to embrace yourself

CONTRIBUTORS

“One woman doesn’t create a global movement; it’s a collective of visions and stories. Everyone’s journey to embracing their bodies is different; I’ve always found the best approach is to take a little bit of advice from lots of different people.

I wanted to recognise and honour these women who I am fortunate enough to call my friends, for the time and passion they have dedicated to our cause – I know you’re going to love them, too.”

EMBRACE YOURSELF TOUR

When Embrace Yourself launched in September 2018, we took the Embrace bus on her maiden voyage with seven events in seven days in seven towns across Australia. It was a huge success, with thousands of women coming together for the ultimate girls’ night out to embrace and connect through laughter, tears, fashion and storytelling.
