Bri will share her wisdom on how we can shift the paradigm of body image and health, helping us foster a healthier and more compassionate relationship with our bodies.

But that's not all; we'll also share practical tangible tools on how to manage the negative narratives we often have about our bodies. It's going to be a captivating episode filled with invaluable insights and advice.
