thank you yeah someone from mega bay reached out a while like I want to say a year plus ago being like hey we'd love to send you product because someone sent them a video or maybe she followed me and I was talking about how my thighs were chasing so badly

and I was like guys I can't play tennis because I'm just chief city like what is up this chub rub is an issue and she messaged me and was like wait can we please send you mega bay and I was like I don't know what that is but send it my way and now I swear by it so it was over

it was like very early on in mega babes but the thigh rescue is the best thing ever and now Joe has the men's version because he was stealing mine for his golfing so we're big fans

it's great that's why we made friction fighter because we just we knew Jews were taking it and I love that I love a chance for unity and I love that we found you that's great

I love that you found me too so I want to start off from like the very beginning because I think especially when we're talking about body image and our relationship with our body I do think it starts like in our childhood honestly and I would love to hear like what was we're just going to dive right in what was what's the history of your relationship with your body like

I think and so I wrote a book that came out in May of this past year and it was essentially called Body Talk and it's all about it's not my story but it's about the fact that most of these things start when you are so small and that we we lose our innocence in our body and just like our acceptance of our body we lose that really early on especially as women

and personally for me I remember being like bigger than every taller than everyone else in kindergarten and just being aware that I was taller than everyone else but the but that wasn't bad what really started to feel bad was around first grade when I was like

being treated differently than the little little kids around me because I looked older I was like I just I looked like I was in like fourth grade but I was in I was in first grade and the way that parents talk to me and I started to realize that like I somehow was doing something wrong like my body was bigger than it should have been

and so it started there and then it just escalated until I was about 30 so that yeah that that is where that's where my body journey started early on.

So I will say I wanted to practice the missions as beforehand as a very bad interviewer I have not read body talk yet I'm a big fan of yours I felt all your content but I will say I downloaded the audible version this morning so you are next.

No but I want to listen to it on audible I love listening to books read by.

I would never I would never read a single book if it weren't for audible.

I love that I hope this episode is sponsored by audible because I wish I yeah same I love I love audible so much and I I had a really hard time recording the audio book I was I was because I'm such an audible fan I was like this is going to be awesome and I I've never been able to go back and listen to it.

Because you think it'll bring up a lot of emotions for you or why.
