“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” ― Brené Brown
Today’s guest is a body acceptance activist, motivational speaker, writer and rebel Kai Hibbard.
In this episode we discuss:
* Why exercise isn’t unhealthy (except the way we portray it in the media and practice it today)
* Why we don’t need fitspo
* What happens when you confuse “beauty” with “health”
* Why self esteem should have nothing to do with body image
And why, someday, we won’t be throwing a parade when a size 22 woman get a modeling contract—and more!
