Award-winning speaker, educator, and coach, Dana Suchow, joins me for a chat about her experience with an eating disorder and how that led to her becoming a coach for parents/caregivers who want to raise their children to feel body confident. In our conversation, she gives examples of some amazing tools to use when you/a child is feeling negatively about their body. You don't want to miss this educational, loving, inspiring, and REAL episode.
Since overcoming Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder and exercise compulsion that resulted in permanent injuries, Dana Suchow has become an expert in the field of body image and eating disorder prevention. Offering a nonclinical and holistic approach, Dana will teach you how to put your child on a path towards body love, empowerment and self-acceptance.

In 2014 Dana founded #MyBodyStory, an ongoing storytelling series created to uplift girl's and women's voices that so often go unheard. In 2016 Dana co-founded The Ripple, a nonprofit nationwide activist collective focused on helping women make waves in their communities.
