In the 2nd episode of my conversation with Mikala Jamison, author of the substack Body Type and upcoming book, The Forever Project (out next summer!). We pick up where we left off discussing the the importance of curiosity over criticism, and how societal trends impact our self-perception and our ever ongoing journey towards embracing our bodies without judgment. Such a great convo, look out for more when Mikala’s book comes out this spring!
