Have a question you want answered? Submit it here!In this episode of it starts with attraction, we are going to be talking about a topic that I covered the opposite side of in a previous episode. And in this episode, we're going to cover the other side of it. And that is body image. So recently I did an episode where I talked about my personal struggle with body image. And a little bit alluded to how body image is something that many women struggle with. But in that episode, I also talked very vaguely about the fact that my husband has also recently been through a journey where he has changed the way that he views his body as well. And so in this episode, I wanted us to dive a little bit deeper into talking with my husband about his experience of how he took what he used to be looking at when he was looking at his body and the things that he would look out at to kind of see where his quote unquote worth was coming from. Through his journey that he's been through, and where he is now.
