Part two of a conversation about body knowledge regarding our children in both the mental and physical space. Special guests author Kayla J.W. Marnach and body neutral personal trainer + coach and entrepreneur Kami Blease discuss SA prevention, body positivity + neutrality, resisting societal norms like diet culture, food consumption, exercise, and more. Tune in to see how you can retrain your (adult) brain and unlearn body negativity and trauma, so you can try to not only limit your child's exposure to them, but build a foundation that can withstand it.
