Summer is in full swing, and we’re feeling the heat! The pressure is on to have the perfect “summer body.” In this episode, we dive into some of the problematic implications behind the beach bod obsession, discussing why we aren’t fans of the term “flattering” and why the swim suit industry is less body-positive than they would like you to believe. Plus, we brainstorm some solutions to help you shed some of that swimsuit anxiety. So grab a seat by the pool, relax, and enjoy! And don’t forget that sunscreen.
