Episode 226: How to Handle Photos You Hate29 Jun 202200:49:19
Episode Overview

Does looking at photos of yourself trigger intense body shame? Over the last seven years, we've seen this time and again: an enjoyable event or experience is ruined as soon as a woman sees photos of herself.

That's why, in today's episode, we share some real-life solutions to help you feel more comfortable with photos and a little more at peace with your body.
