And here you are, a few weeks out from summer, in another fitting room, in another swimsuit you can’t even imagine wearing in public. If that loop sounds familiar, this episode is for you.In this episode, I’m getting honest about something I’ve skirted around on this podcast for a long time: the very real desire to feel confident in a swimsuit this summer.
