If you head over to Adrienne Bennett's IG account, you will see why I had to have this woman on the show. I'm not one for woo woo, but this woman shines. She is highly radiant and all I wanted is for some of that to rub off on me. When I reached out to her though, she said she doesn't read too much in the body acceptance space, which is interesting because her account is all about connection to the body. I asked what she does read and she pointed me to this book. I cannot wait for you to listen because this is a really vulnerable deviation from the normal fare on the pod. Here are some things we talked about:
