In this HEALING 101 episode, we explore the profound connection between body image and our inner selves. I am joined by Jessi Kneeland, a seasoned personal trainer and body image coach. Jessi challenges the common misconception that altering our physical appearance can magically solve our internal struggles. Instead, she delves into the heart of the matter, unveiling the deeper layers of body image issues that often transcend the physical realm.

Drawing from her extensive experience, Jessi highlights the prevalence of body hatred, anxiety, obsession, and dysmorphia, even among individuals who have achieved their fitness goals. She introduces the concept of "body neutrality," an approach that encourages self-acceptance and respect for our bodies, regardless of whether they align with societal ideals. 

Jessi offers actionable and transformative methods to defuse the power of body image issues, ultimately freeing individuals to experience true confidence, security, and satisfaction in their lives.
