Today’s episode features probably the biggest name in body image today - the dynamic, authentic, sparkly powerhouse and Director of the Embrace Documentary Taryn Brumfitt. Taryn vulnerably shares her personal story, we explore the often missed “how-tos” of developing an authentically positive body image, and dive deep into the relationship between body image, eating, exercise and weight.

In this special conversation Taryn and I discuss:

- That we are over hating our bodies.

- How health professionals are as ready for change as their clients!

- Taryn’s viral “Reverse Before-and-After” shot that “broke people’s brains”

- How you can Embrace the miracle of your body.

- Why we need to share our personal body image stories

- Using our social media for the power of GOOD!

- How to become AUTHENTICALLY body positive.

- Judging less and loving more.

- Having conversations with people we DON’T agree with!

- Why it’s important to be vulnerable.

- How to “find your tribe” of supportive friends and health professionals!

- Can you lose weight in a loving way?

- Accepting your body when others around you don’t.

- Creating space for elevated conversations around bodies.

- Dealing with parents and grandparents fat shaming your kids.

- Taryn’s advice for people who feel weight is stopping them finding a partner.
