#469: Body Image Resiliency

Sarah and Adrienne Martini have an intriguing conversation with Lexie Kite, Ph.D., co-founder (along with her identical twin sister!) of the non-profit More Than a Body and co-author of the new book called More Than a Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament. Lexie offers insight and advice on: 
-building body image resilience (and what it is!); 
-setting goals based on what your body can do, not what it looks like;
-banishing the belief you need to look a certain way for anyone else; 
-helping plant a media-literacy seed for your children (and yourself); and, 
-silencing any internal self-objectifying voices as you emerge into a post-pandemic world.
