What is body image, according to an honest-to-goodness expert? We’re talking PhD level expertise.    This may surprise you, but body image can’t be seen with a mirror. In this episode, we meet Dr. Lindsay Kite, a Ph.D. in female body image, expert, and co-author of More Than A Body with her twin sister and fellow body image expert. You’ll learn (and be disgusted by) how much of what we think of as normal – like bonding over our bodies and what makes us uncomfortable – is learned behavior. Good news: we can unlearn it too. Tune in to find out how awareness is the first step and what to do next to cultivate body image resilience.  Episode Links: https://www.morethanabody.org/   More Than A Body Book (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/More-Than-Body-Instrument-Ornament/dp/0358229243

We don’t talk about Bruno (I mean, mental illness).   In this week’s podcast episode, we follow Erin Morrissey through her tumultuous journey of disordered eating and compulsive over-exercising through her recovery and the launch of her wildly successful food blog, Erin Lives Whole. Today, Erin knows how to nourish her body and has learned to love the experience of eating and sharing food with her fiancé, friends, and family…not to mention her multitude of global followers, including a banana bread baker in Ukraine. In this episode, you’ll hear her candid feedback about why having a mental illness is kind of like having a little friend and what parts of her recovery felt the most uncomfortable…and also the most important. You’ll also learn who encouraged her to start her blog, to begin with, and what life feels like in recovery from her eating disorder…does it ever fully go away? You’ll need to tune in to find out. We are talking about Bruno! Episode Links:   Erin’s favorite recipes from her blog are her one-pot pasta and tahini brownies.
