It's May and that means it's almost swim-team season! With that, I notice the conversation around swimsuits, bodies, and body image coming up in my sessions more and more too. That's why we're-releasing an old episode on the toxic culture we live in around body image. In this episode, Caroline Megargel and I talk with Sarah Lewis from The Lewis Practice about the power we ourselves and our kids have when we start noticing the toxic messages we get around food and bodies. 

If you want to be more empowered about your own food and body image journey and if you want to give your sons and daughters the opportunity to empower themselves as they walk around this world, I'm sure you're going to enjoy this episode! [And if you want to dive deeper into the topic, scroll back to our episodes from January 2022. This is just the first episode of a 6-episode series on disordered eating!]

In this episode on the toxic culture around body image, we cover:

• How we see the culture negatively impacting adults and teens;
• The image (social) media paints about how we should look, act, and feel;
• The role of Social Media's algorithm in the images we see;
• How the way we talk about our bodies impacts our kids' body image;
• What we as parents can do and say about this;
• And more!
