    5678! Today musical artist Linnea Malmström visits the podcast to talk about show biz and all that jazz. She walks us through the self-critical thoughts that creep in during auditions and costume fittings and I ask her whether she thinks the size of the audience affects how we see our bodies.

    Sanna Nordin Bates, a professor of sports psychology at GIH, helps me untangle the many terms connected to eating disorders and body image. We discuss whether certain personality traits common among dancers might contribute to the high rates of body dissatisfaction in the dance world and what we can do to support ourselves when challenges arise in our everyday dance lives.
