Adultish: the Body Image Book For Life
In the non-shaming voice of a knowledgeable best friend, Charlotte Markey helps us to understand that the baggage we carry about our bodies is not our fault. At the same time, she reminds us that cultivating a healthy adult relationship with our bodies is in our power. In Adultish, Dr. Markey emboldens us to sluff off the weight of negative body culture and embrace trust, self-love, and appreciation for different shapes and sizes. It's in these changes that we truly feed us all.
