Episode 61: Body Talk with Special Guest Christine Isotalo

Body talk is how we communicate with our bodies. Communications with our bodies are often full of negative, critical comments which are not only unproductive, but make us feel worse and lead to destructive behaviors. When we are aware of how we talk to ourselves, we can learn to stop the mean body talk, or at least, slow it down and create room for more positive, loving, nurturing and inspirational communication with our bodes.
