In this episode I'm chatting with Lori Brand, author of 'Bodies to Die For'. We are exploring her journey through diet culture, body image struggles, and how she made peace with her body once she started strength training.
We discuss the societal pressures women face regarding their bodies, the impact of diet culture, and the empowering shift from focusing on appearance to strength and self-acceptance.
Lori shares insights from her book, which delves into the body image war and the challenges women face in a world dominated by unrealistic standards.
Our conversation also touches on the writing process, the challenges of publishing, and the importance of community support among women.
