They dive into the concept of body kindness, emphasizing that self-care and self-acceptance can actually pave the way for healthier behaviors.

With a mix of personal anecdotes and professional insights, Erin and Michael make a compelling case for why being kind to yourself is not a sign of weakness but a powerful tool for achieving your best self.
