A podcast that every woman should listen to...we spend so much of our energy being angry at our bodies for not being the way we think they should be, or want them to be...and it's an affliction we pass on to the next generation whenever we complain openly about them (and multiplies whenever we commiserate with our peers about how much we hate our own).

This discussion doesn't advocate complacency, or not setting goals if you want to improve your overall health/fitness, but rather focuses on being at peace with your body, being grateful for what it does do for you, and re-calibrating our perceptions of our own body images. 

I also appreciated the discussion on how "being healthy" and "being thin" are not necessarily synonymous. I think we sometimes judge other women too harshly, not realizing the full spectrum of what healthy can outwardly look like on different women's body types.
