If you don’t feel positive about your body image, it’s not your fault. You have a brain designed to seek out flaws, a learning history that may have punished or praised certain body features, and a culture built around unrealistic body expectations. In this episode of Your Life in Process, Diana discusses the concept of body image flexibility, a newer psychological term, that describes your ability to be present with and accept uncomfortable feelings and thoughts about your body, while creating a life that matters to you.

Do you struggle with chronic pain in your body? Are you searching for an alternative approach to pain rather than running from it or struggling with it? In this episode of “Your Life in Process,” Diana discusses mindfulness-based approaches to pain with internationally known mindfulness teacher, Dr. Christiane Wolf.

A NOTE ON THE SOUND QUALITY: I wanted to let you know that this episode has some poor audio quality on my part. I was playing around with the knobs before I recorded and ended up getting a fuzzy version of me throughout. I hope that you will give me some grace on that. Because I love the organic conversation back and forth with Christiane and myself. So focus your attention on that and allow for a little bit of imperfection. That's what we need to all do for each other.
