Caitlin Boyle

Healthy Living Blogger and Author of Operation Beautiful: Transforming the Way You See Yourself One Post-It Note at a Time

Tired of watching people pick themselves apart in front of the mirror, healthy living blogger Caitlin Boyle scribbled a note on a scrap of paper: “YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!” and slapped it on the mirror of a public bathroom. With this one small act, she kick-started a movement known as Operation Beautiful. In a matter of days, women and men were undertaking their own feats of resistance, posting uplifting notes on gym lockers, diet shakes in supermarkets, and anywhere else a nagging voice of self-criticism might lurk.

Based on her book, Operation Beautiful: Transforming the Way You See Yourself One Post-It Note at a Time, Caitlin’s program is interactive, energetic, informative, and engaging. Her eye-opening multimedia presentations use shocking examples of photoshopping as a springboard for discussing America’s body image crisis. Caitlin’s approach compels the audience to ask what advertisers are really “selling” us—not just products, but also values and expectations about appearance, self-worth, and gender roles.
