Special Feature: The Merrymaker Sisters on self-acceptance
We’ve all done it: judged others, compared our body to someone else’s body, and beat ourselves up for the way we look.
In this episode we invite two sisters, Emma and Carla, to the convo - and they’ve been through it all: diets, plastic surgery, and more. Together we chat openly about the struggles all of us have gone through with self-acceptance.
Mentioned in this episode:
Podcast episode on Body Image Anxiety from the Merrymaker Sisters
Article from ABC: A damaging obsession
Detox Your Thoughts by Andrea Bonior, PhD
Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer
