#15 - It's My #BookBirthday, Let's Celebrate Body Kindness

December 27, 2016 is a day I won’t soon forget. It’s the official
“due date” of my “book baby” (yes, we all lovingly refer to “her”
as a member of our family). This book is my voice. It’s also my
life experiences that shaped the Body Kindness philosophy and who
I am today. Filled with tools and exercises I have been using in
my counseling practice for years, this book will take you through
the necessary steps to reject dieting, make peace with food and
your body, and set new goals to create meaningful change in your
life.


In this podcast episode, my good friend and Body Kindness
accountability partner (and former chronic dieter / Biggest Loser
“winner”) Bernie Salazar and I chat about how we reconnected at
just the right time when Bernie needed a new approach to health.
Dieting didn’t work, Biggest Loser didn’t work. Not doing
anything didn’t work


(If you’re a new listener, check out all of season one episodes
1-14 to get a feel for how we got together and Bernie’s mindset
and life started to shift.)


We’ll talk you through the ins and outs of how Body Kindness is
designed to help you make better choices and become a more
compassionate person. Plus you’ll learn how you can get a free
book chapter, Body Kindness digital training, and my clients’
favorite habits tracker - the health and happiness journal and

different.
