Although social media can sometimes be a toxic place that breeds negative thinking and low self-esteem, it can also be a pretty great place due to the people who want to fight those issues and defy unrealistic standards. One of those warriors is Bree Lenehan, a famous Australian influencer who posts pictures of her natural body and makes it her mission to fight the unhealthy effects that social media and societal expectations can have on us.
The influencer has enlightening music videos that tackle hard-hitting topics like whether filters have gone too far, proof that social media is not necessarily real life and lots of body-positive content. She’d spread the body positivity and self-love to nearly 660,000 followers, and in a world where so much seems to have gone wrong lately, Bree a much-needed light in the day.
Like many body positivity influencers, Lenehan hasn’t always had a healthy relationship with food and her body. After suffering from Anorexia in 2018 and struggling with body image, she realized that it didn’t have to do with looks at all and instead was from her mentality and how she spoke to herself.
With this new way of thinking, she set out on a mission online to help other people love their bodies. In an interview with Daily Mail, “This body I’m in now fluctuates throughout the year, it’s the body that allows me to live my life focused on the things that really matter to me and make me happy. You deserve a life full of the same.”
