Kirsty McKell, Body Image coach and founder of Befriend your Body, joins me today to share her story. A story rooted in trauma and in self deprication but that has given her the power to become who she is today: an activitist for sexual assault survivors and an enabler for women in need of confidence and positivity. I can only describe this episode as incredibly raw, honest and truly empowering.

This episode is of a sensitive nature. if you are or have been victim of sexual assault please know this can be triggering and we therefore recommend it may be best you do not listen to this episode.
