What if the way you talk about yourself could actually bring freedom instead of shame? In today’s episode, Jess Connolly — author of Breaking Free from Body Shame — shares how shifting our words can transform our thoughts, relationships and even our faith.


In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How small, everyday choices shape our view of our bodies.
  • Why the words we speak about ourselves hold the power to heal or wound.
  • How to shift the culture of body negativity and start celebrating your body as “good.”
