More Than a Body: When Your Body Is Good—Even If You Don’t Like It

In this episode of Breast Cancer Book Shelf, we’re talking about a powerful reframe from More Than a Body by Lexie and Lindsay Kite: “Positive body image isn’t believing your body looks good, but knowing your body is good regardless of how it looks.”

For cancer patients and survivors, body image isn’t just about confidence—it’s about loss, change, discomfort, and learning how to live in a body that no longer feels familiar. This conversation explores why you don’t have to love your body, feel grateful for it, or see it as “beautiful” to treat it with care. Your body is good—even on hard days, even when it’s changed.
