According to Wikipedia, body positivity is a movement focused on the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities, while challenging present-day beauty standards as an undesirable social construct.
But what does this actually mean?

Do you have the Holiday Blues?
The holiday season is the time of joy, cheer and family gatherings but for many of us, including myself, it’s the time filled with sadness, anxiety, loneliness and self reflection. But, what causes the holiday blues, where does it stem from and why isn’t it talked about enough?
My guest today, Julia Armand, is here to help me answer these questions. Julia is a Marriage and Family Therapist who helps individuals better understand their own patterns of behavior - why they are there, how to catch yourself falling into them and how to break free.
In today’s episode, we cover:
- The Holiday Blues are a real thing
- When did this all start?
- Holding on to old family traditions
- Why don't we talk about this?
- Holidays are time for reflection
- Holiday season post - Covid
- Holiday blues vs Depression
- What can you do to make it easier on yourself
- Be mindful that not everyone feels the same way

Welcome to the first episode of the Polymath Latina Podcast. My first guest is someone really special to me. She is not only my best friend and my biggest supporter, she is also my baby sister - Nicole Tolentino!
When I first came up with the idea of starting my own podcast, I immediately knew that I wanted Nicole as one of my guests. She definitely took me by surprise when she volunteered to do it because this is way out of her comfort zone and that got me thinking - what else don't I know about my sister.
So, in a true Vogue 73 questions fashion, join me in today’s episode and let's find out together!
