How to change your relationship with your body for the better - with body acceptance coach Laura Kelly
02/28/24 • 66 min
You may have heard of body acceptance, but have you ever heard the term body neutrality? Today we dive into body acceptance with our first guest! We are so excited to welcome Laura Kelly to the podcast! Laura Kelly offers mindset & self-acceptance coaching for the open-hearted soul on a journey of self discovery. The work of stepping into a life of more joy, deeper fulfillment, kinder self-talk, less pressure, and a clearer purpose is better with a teammate. Laura is the host of You Might Not Like It, a podcast that cuts deep to the raw, real, and challenging work of showing up to your purpose. It’s a compassionate place for you to land, whether you’re celebrating your latest win or deep in the challenges of being in the messy middle.
You can join the free body acceptance program (delivered right to your inbox!) where we'll start at the very beginning before going deep on topics like body neutrality, food freedom, the stuff your Mom said, and the comments that left scars.
