If you're like most of us, the words "body confidence" might, at times, feel like a distant idea instead of a reality. Maybe you keep finding things about your body to "fix," or you're just a bit self-conscious about stepping out of the Zoom window and into a swimsuit this summer. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, and this episode is for you as we welcome Jess Connolly, author of the brand-new book Breaking Free from Body Shame.

Today, Jess and Jessica talk very personally and candidly about body awareness, shame, and the many messages that the world (and our minds) give us about what beauty is–and how we can decide to work toward body respect after the pandemic.
