Together they cover:

→ The 4 aspects of body image you need to know

→ Why rushing to "body love" skips over the real healing work

→ How fatphobia and privilege show up in dating dynamics

→ Practical tools to move through body grief with compassion so you can put yourself out there and find love in exactly the body you're in

If you're a late bloomer who's avoided dating because of how you feel in your body, this conversation will give you the validation, tools, and hope to take your next steps.
