Susan Burton: Bless This Body
There are some secrets we'd rather not tell, but that eat us alive anyway. Writer Susan Burton was trapped in an eating disorder with no good name. Today's conversation is not a victory story. Issues with our bodies are not ones we overcome because our bodies are, you know, living things. Kate and Susan discuss how we struggle against shame and learn to have compassion for ourselves and our fragile, beautiful bodies.CW: Disordered eatingFor show notes, transcripts, and discussion questions: https://katebowler.com/podcasts/susan-burton-bless-this-body/
