AITA Body positive edition continues with uncovering how other peoples beliefs, comments and attitudes can change and form our opinions about ourselves. Join us as we talk about and ask: Ways family, friends and even strangers can add to the self loathing that hurts us and what if we didn't have to internalize other peoples issues, and we just got to be our authentic self?

We are pausing ATA and we're talking about the fall and winter holidays, (all of them).
