I'm joined by Jessi Kneeland, a queer and non-binary body image coach, speaker, and author of the book BODY NEUTRAL: A Revolutionary Guide to Overcoming Body Image Issues. We are talking about why body image struggles are not a thinking problem and how we need to understand our deeper needs to identify the source of our struggles. We also talk about the 4 body image avatars Jessi uses to help you identify the source of your struggles. Plus, Jessi's experience with gender identity and expression and how that influenced their relationship with their body.
