Podcast 40: Strong is the New Pretty – Celebrating Girls Being Themselves, with Kate T Parker

Kate T ParkerKate T Parker is known for her viral photos of strong girls just being themselves, which is now compiled into a book, Strong is the New Pretty. This beautiful book celebrates girls for who they are, not their appearance or shape. Growing up Kate was always encouraged to be herself — messy hair, muddy knees, and all! As a mom herself, she passes this empowering mindset on to who kids and she challenges the cultural labeling of what girls “should” be in order to be a girl.

In this podcast we discussed how she got into photography (hint: passion, passion, passion). We touch on the real benefits of exercise – like feeling good, not weighing less. We address why it can be so darn hard just posing in the picture when you struggle with body kindness — and how to stop erasing yourself from your life. Then we get into the theme behind the images in the book, which is organized by positive character traits, not appearance-focused “beauty” requirements. One sample quote: Hayley, age 10 “I think girls should focus way more on who they are inside and way less on what they look like outside. I found a lot of strength in just not caring – lake water hair? Don’t care!”

Tune in and don’t miss Kate’s video on her website.
