The One About Collective Experiences, Body Beliefs, Self Criticism and Using Your Voice with Josie Balka

“I can't remember anyone I've seen at a public pool with such a memorable body, good or bad that I think about it ever again” - Josie Balka, our guest today… and that quote? From a sound bite you’ve likely heard thousands of times across social media. But where did it come from? Josie shares her struggle to accept her voice, find her words and share her lived experience through her “self proclaimed writing” and spoken word. If you’ve ever experienced a changing body (ahem, all of us) or want to find YOUR voice, your story, or just listen to some words to find a place for it all to land, this episode is for you.
