In this episode, I am joined by writer, educator, and mentor Connie Sobczak. She founded The Body Positive in honor of her sister, and to ensure that her daughter Carmen and other children would grow up in a new world—one where people are free to focus on the things in life that really matter. Connie is also the author of “Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body,” her book in which she skillfully and lovingly reconnects readers to their essence and life force.

Join Karin and Connie for a discussion on Connie’s experience while writing her novel, “Embody,” the ways children absorb body-shaming messages, the impact of bonding over body hatred, the role diversity plays in preparing children to navigate a diet-obsessed culture, tips for becoming an expert of your own body, Connie’s motivation for co-funding The Body Positive non-profit, the 5 Competencies of the Be Body Positive Model, and much more!
