The Diet Industry or culture taught us that all bodies should look the same
— Stephanie Roman

When's the last time you looked in the mirror and genuinely thought to yourself, "Wow, I love my body so much"? If you can't recall the last time you felt that way about yourself, that's OK. You're not alone at all. It seems impossible for some of us to jump on the body positivity bandwagon when we are in a constant battle with diets and body image.The good news is that you don’t have to be a supermodel to start accepting your body. So how do we get to that place? How do we move to a space where we honor our bodies and move away from what they look like?

In today’s episode guest Stephanie Roman talks about the common beliefs about women’’s bodies and what it takes to begin the journey of body acceptance. Stephanie is a Certified Health Coach specializing in Body Acceptance, and a public speaker and workshop facilitator in the NYC metro area. Having struggled for many years with dieting and body shame, it's her mission to support her clients in embracing the bodies they have now, so they can live their fullest lives with courage, confidence and authenticity. She guides her clients in listening to their body's intuition in order to figure out what holistic wellness means for them individually. 

Body Neutrality is not necessarily I hate my body or I love my body either, it is the absence of judgment.
