An inspiring story of overcoming the negativity of diet culture and learning to embrace and celebrate one's uniquenesses. Kaitlin chats with Christina Testut: educator of over 20 years in New York, co-director of her school's social emotional learning and equity programs, and author of Embracing your Features - a wonderful book for children and adults on loving your "flaws" and what makes you unique. Their conversation focuses on Christina's personal experiences with diet culture and Weight Watchers, an obsession and need to be small due to societal pressures and norms, feeling like she wasn't enough, how she has moved on and began the journey of embracing herself, the importance of giving yourself, and others, grace, and the impact of her book on both children and adults.
