We wouldn’t be a wellness podcast without a deep dive into body image. Our topic for week fifteen touches on many different dimensions of wellness but particularly on physical and emotional health. We’re talking about everything from societal pressures to fatphobia to boobs. As always, we bring back some silliness in the Rapid Fire segment before moving into our weekly rundown of the eight dimensions of wellness. Tune in to learn more about where we’re at with our body image these days.
