Friends! 

I’m over the moon this week to have my dear friend Kerry Underwood, who is a wonderful marriage and family therapist, on the podcast this week, to have a conversation about body image. 

In the same vein as our last episode, but with a therapists perspective, we discuss the lies that we’ve been fed about our bodies and why it matters to debunk those. 

Several things that we mention in this episode, I want to drop here for your extracurricular personal reading/listening:
