Hey there, welcome to the Shalene Show and thank you so much for tuning in to this series

on Body Image.

This is a really important conversation especially for those of you who have struggled with Body

Image, perhaps you're married to someone who struggles with this, and most importantly

for those of you who are parents.

Because as you will hear with the guests I'm featuring this week, they carry with them

a single comment made by one adult as a child.

The countless letters I receive from women and men that describe this moment when an adult

or more often than not a parent made a comment about their way or their body that whether

they meant to be uplifting or motivational or helpful, it doesn't matter.

I've just got letters from, I don't know how many people who've said that haunt to be

the rest of my life and it was a start of an eating disorder, it was a start of a terrible

relationship with my body and food, etc.

Words are extremely, extremely powerful.

They can lift us up, they can transform us, or they can hurt us.

What I want you to take away from this series is that each person's story is their own
