Every person has a story and some parts of those stories feel too hard to tell.

You are listening to, if you only knew, a mini series brought to you by the Happy Hour with Jamie Ivy Podcast.

On today's show, my friend Jessica Hanager joins me and opens up about a struggle that she has battled for over 30 years.

Her struggle has been body image.

Jessica's story is so common for so many women and if you have ever at one point struggled with body image,

you will know today that you are not alone as you listen to Jessica share her struggle.

I want you to notice how she says she started to feel when she realized that her struggle might not have actually been what her body looked like, but something deeper inside.

Guys, if you're loving this mini series, I'd love two things from you.

Number one, a review on iTunes would be fabulous. It's super easy. Go to Jamie Ivy.com slash iTunes. It takes you right to the page, deliver review.

Number two, if you have not purchased my new book, if you only knew, I would love for you to get yourself a copy.

My goal in writing this book was for me to share my story about finding freedom from shame in my life and to encourage you, the reader, to look for ways to find your own freedom.

Many times that freedom starts with just saying some things out loud to a girlfriend, just like all of these guests have talked about in this mini series, if you only knew, you can go to if you only new book.net and find your book there.

Also, you guys in this show, Jessica mentions her brand new podcast is called going scared and she just released it this week actually.

I highly recommend it. Head on over to wherever you subscribe to your shows and start listening to this one.

Okay, guys, before we get to my conversation with Jessica, I want to tell you one more thing and that is I want to thank today's sponsor for this show, C.A.T.H.Ips.

C.A.T.A. is a healthy Mexican-American food brand that makes grain free and paleo-friendly tortillas and tortilla chips.

And you guys, these tortillas and tortilla chips are amazing and there are people in my family that have to eat grain free and this has been a lifesaver.

The best thing about this is that you can get all of their foods online.

So there may not be a grocery store near you that carries these. You can get them online and they're giving us a coupon code.

If you use the word IV when you check out, you can get 10% off your order.

If you're going to try some, please try the Nacho grain free tortilla chips because they are my absolute favorite and our family loves these tortilla chips.

So if you're looking for a healthy Mexican-American food brand that makes grain free and paleo-friendly tortillas and tortilla chips, check out Cetafoods.com.
