What would change if you stopped treating your body like a problem that constantly needed to be fixed?
In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn talks with Anne Poirier, Body Image and Body Neutrality Women’s Wellness Coach and founder of Shaping Perspectives, about body shame, self-criticism, eating disorders, changing bodies, and learning to build a kinder relationship with the body you live in.
Anne’s work grew from her own experience with self-loathing, disordered eating, compulsive exercise, and years of trying to change her body. Eventually, she began asking a different question: instead of constantly trying to make her body acceptable, could she learn to respect and care for it?
Together, Autumn and Anne explore:
Your body will change. It has already changed. The goal doesn’t have to be keeping it frozen at one particular weight, shape, age, or version of yourself.
Perhaps the better question is: How can I care for this body so we can keep experiencing life together?
