Episode 6…Part of being human is experiencing negative body image off and on. It doesn’t matter if you live in a thin, fit, fat, wrinkled, young, or old body – if you’re human, you’ve likely looked at your reflection with dissatisfaction a time or two in your life.

How can you move through these negative body image moments or days with the least amount of distress possible?

I recently sat down with Brianna Campos LPC on the Savor Food and Body Podcast to dig up all the nuances behind body image – what it is, what it isn’t, and everything in between.

Brianna (Bri) Campos LPC is a licensed mental health counselor in New Jersey. As the founder of Body Image With Bri, she practices through the lens of Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating. Bri combines her clinical skills and life experience to teach others to maneuver through their unique body image journeys.

Creator of @bodyimagewithbri, Brianna Campos is a body image advocate for all bodies.

Bri shares how life in a larger body led her to create the Body Image with Bri.

Bri shares why she defines body image as an archeological dig rather than a journey. Why honoring body grief is essential to heal your body image. And how to work through the difficulties of seeing your body in photos and reflections.

Learn more about Bri’s work by following her on Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri and visiting her online.
