Healthy-ish

Taryn Brumfitt has made a career out of spreading the body positivity message around the world, and she’s pretty damn convincing. The filmmaker and speaker is fronting Cupid’s Undie Run, urging all Australians to, yes, run around their neighbourhoods in their finest undies. Don’t think you can? Well, listen to this and you may be convinced. The Adelaide-based author talks about her relationship with her own body image, and how you can learn to appreciate the skin you’re in by focusing on what your body can actually do for you, not what it looks like.    You can find out more about Cupid’s Undie Run here and catch Taryn Brumfitt on Instagram.     You can join the conversation, or drop us a question, via the Healthy-ish Australia Facebook page, here.   If you’re up for funny memes and health inspo follow Body+Soul on Instagram at @bodyandsoul_au   Or, head to bodyandsoul.com.au for your daily digital dose of health and wellness.   Each Sunday, you can pick up the latest copy of the Body+Soul/Stellar flipbook inside The Sunday Telegraph (NSW), the Sunday Herald Sun (Victoria), The Sunday Mail (Queensland), Sunday Mail (SA) and Sunday Tasmanian (Tasmania).
