Have you ever been around someone who makes a negative comment about the shape or size of someone else? Of course you have. What you may not realize is that those comments are directly linked to negative body image in children, and that's exactly what today's guest, Taylor Squeglia, shares in her story. 

Taylor struggled with body image and disordered eating for nearly 10 years before her healing process began.  Her healing  began while serving victims of sex trafficking and convincing them of their beauty.

If you have a love/hate relationship with food because it was used as reward/punishment growing up,  or you ever felt ashamed for how much food you eat OR... if you ever forced yourself to purge after eating, this episode is for you.
