LISTEN IN: Discovering The Path to Body Peace W/ Special Guest Ivy Felicia, Body Relationship Coach

Welcome to the first installment of my new series, Inside the Self-Care Suite. Each month, I'll be hosting an phenomenal voice in the arena of self-care, diving deep on the topics that matter most in our daily lives.Since February is traditionally the month of love, we kicked off the series with Ivy Felicia, holistic wellness coach and founder of MeMyBodyAndLove.com. Her specialty is helping women have a more positive relationship with their body, no matter their size.Listen in to the conversation below, as we discuss body image, body appreciation, and how self-care habits can be an act of political resistance!

The Highlights

We'll be discussing how to make self-care part of your personal legacy. When people remember you, will they remember a woman who is confident and conditioned to make herself a priority? Let's make that the goal.
