Episode Synopsis

Anyone who struggles with or questions her body image will appreciate this episode, with guest Charlotte Markey Ph.D., a psychology professor at Rutgers University and author of Adultish: The Body Image Book for Life coming out in 2024. Along with hosts Sarah and Tish, the guest discusses: 
-body neutrality, and how it differs from body positivity; 
-how compulsive running can be—and how to avoid falling into that trap; 
-how to set a good example for our kids with our running; and, 
-obligatory exercise: what it is, and how to avoid it. 
 
Before the guest joins around 9:40, Sarah and Tish hash out finishing less than a second apart in a recent race.
