Break Free Beauty: Love Your Body, All of It!

Sarah Maria Dreisbach

Show Description:
Wellness Roadshow welcomes Sara Maria
"Break Free Beauty" Love your body, all of it!

We're not thin enough, so we starve ourselves. We're not toned enough, so we exercise to exhaustion. We're not healthy enough, so we avoid all pleasurable food in favor of alfalfa sprouts. And we're not beautiful enough, so we keep ourselves apart from others and the love they might offer. In a culture that worships thin, young, fit, and perfect, few of us can measure up. And our obsession with what we are not has extinguished the joy and vibrancy of who we are. "There is a way out," says Sarah Maria Dreisbach of Break Free Beauty. "It is possible to love and respect your body, to be at peace with your natural urges, and not live in constant fear of gaining weight or growing old. I know the path to befriending the body is not easy. It is painful and difficult, and at times you may feel it is hopeless. But I assure you that it is possible."
Come join Host Catherine Bradford as she and Sara Maria tackle the tough topic of body image.
