Are you at war with your body?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re at war with your body, you’re not alone. In fact, 97% of women report that they think intensely negative thoughts about their bodies every single day. We actually bond over this common misery.  And yet if you’re always treating your body as the enemy, you’re in for a rough ride. You’ll fight every flaw and try to tweak every aspect of your appearance. Which leads to nothing but more fear, shame, and stress… Finding peace isn’t about having the perfect body - instead it’s rooted in finding a new way to think about the one you have.  In this episode, you’ll discover the 4 ways you might be at war with your body (and learn how body neutrality might be a game changer for you).
