    Your Body Manifesto (TBYB Sneak Peek Ch 5)

    Your Body Manifesto (TBYB Sneak Peek Ch 5)

    If you've ever found yourself in a silent war with your body, or comparing yourself to everyone around you as soon as you walk into a room -- trust me, you're not the only one. But, here's a thought: what if it's not about changing what's on your plate, but rather rethinking how we consume these pervasive cultural stories that mess with our heads? In today's episode, we're going to chat about a chapter from my book that's all about how our patriarchal society shapes the way we see our bodies -- and how to reclaim our bodies as ours and ours alone, and appreciate them for the incredible vessels of life they truly are.

Mind Blowing, for real

I consider myself an intelligent and well-rounded person. I've been successful in many things and am reasonably well-educated with a Master's Degree.
I stumbled upon this podcast, honestly not sure how, but I had been listening to a variety of things as I've gone through quite a difficult time in my life (end of a 10-year marriage being a large part) and was feeling very stuck and unhappy. Over a year of feeling between not great and really awful.
I listened to maybe 4 episodes, and Kara and her program resonated immediately more than any (many very good!) others I had listened to. I then went to the website, and signed up immediately. I've been a member about 3 weeks now and I have flipped a switch, with any credit that isn't mine going to Kara. It's so funny... now when I hear Kara say she wants listeners to blow their own minds, I know what she means! I've been keeping track of my specific 'learning' and have asterisks beside many of them with MIND BLOWING MOMENT. I've never, in my almost 50 years, heard this kind of information and although I kind of want to think negatively about that, like I've wasted so many years of my life suffering under a mismanaged mind...actually I can even think that and not get sunk into it! ... I am just super excited about where this will take me! This girl has got it right, and I found her, allelujia!!!
Best value of anything I've bought probably ever lol but certainly in the past year as I threw money at everything I thought would make me feel better.
