Body Image is an important topic to me because our relationship with our bodies and our body image is complex, especially for women and girls, and it lasts a lifetime.

The societal challenges to healthy body image don’t stop…and just like any relationship, having a healthy relationship with our bodies typically requires ongoing attention.  

My guest today, Pam Luk, is intimately familiar with how the world can make you feel uncomfortable in your skin, and what we can do about it. She’s passionate about body diversity and empowering kids to have a healthy body image.

Listen to hear:

• Why Pam started Ember & Ace
• The importance of clothes and activewear that fits plus sized kids
• How to talk with kids when they're struggling with their bodies
• What to add to your social media feeds
• How we sabotage our efforts to get our kids to believe that all bodies are good bodies
• Media literacy and how to navigate messaging

About Our Guest, Pam Luk

Pam Luk is the founder of Ember & Ace, an athletic wear brand for plus size kids. Growing up playing sports, Pam learned firsthand the importance of finding active wear that fits. Not finding it is one of the main reasons kids quit sports. Ember & Ace launched their first five-piece essentials collection on February 2nd 2023. Visit emberandace.com to learn more.
