Episode # 107 Luna on the Lounge- Anne Poirier

Welcome to Luna's (proverbial) lounge where I interview phenomenal humans in the body positivity, self esteem, recovery and all things self love fields and find out how they got to where they are today in their self love story.       Hear from souls from across the globe on how they came (and are still growing) into self love and moving away from harmful self talk, behaviour and actions. These humans are powerful, vulnerable, strong and at times hilarious.   Let's find out how they came to self love.     Season 3- Episode 5 Former fitness industry worker with a lose weight mindset finds that she is part of the problem of diet culture and it's impacting her as much as her clients. From childhood body image issues to rejecting the thin ideal. We talked adoption, self denial, diet culture and not being good enough.  Having overcome her own eating, food, weight, and body image challenges and drawing upon close to 4 decades of experience, Anne Poirier put pen to paper and wrote the book ‘The Body Joyful- My journey from self-loathing to self-acceptance’ to share her highly personal and life-changing journey.
