15. "Self-Love" is a Scam ft. Marta Montana

Rich Little Brokegirls

Stop idolizing skinny people on the internet. In this episode, Kim is joined by former Wilhelmina Model, Marta Montana, for a look inside the world of Body Dysmorphia. From counting calories to counting the hours between meals, Marta battled with a toxic fixation on her silhouette. When she started earning a living from the image in the mirror, her fixation took a dark turn. She was left alone and obsessed with a narcissistic view of "Self-Love," which she believed to be superficial and always out of touch. Women, by and large, have a complicated relationship with food and eating disorders. Marta unpacks how to get rid of the dangerous vision boarding, the Instagram point system, and superficial accolades. From being stuck in her reflection to starting a 501c3 to connect women struggling with body image, Marta wants girls to write down their pain points and work through them. Kim's biggest takeaway? Stop trying to look the part.
