Hey everyone, welcome to Marriage of Martini's,

this is Danielle, so happy you're here today. This is a topic once again that I know so

many of us struggle with body image, body neutrality, body acceptance, body

positivity, all of the things that we keep hearing about and trying again and again

and again to be a piece with about ourselves and society, diet culture, all the things

make it almost feel impossible to do that and it is something that has taken up

far too much bandwidth in my lifetime and I am forever trying to give it less

space in my life because it is robbing me of so many joys and so many moments

of real freedom and I've been working towards it and it is a lifetime mission.

It might take me my lifetime to finally get to a place where I can do all the things

and not have the intrusive thoughts about my body and the judgments and the opinions

that I so constantly think people are having about me as I walk through the world.

So we're a work in progress but I think we can all hopefully get to a place where we show up

even though we might feel uncomfortable because our families, our loved ones,

our friends, ourselves, deserve it.

And today on the podcast I could not be more excited to have Sarah Landry on.

She is the Birds Papaya, many of you probably already know her.

From Instagram, she has a podcast, she is just a force of all things, body acceptance

and she is doing so much to try and make us all feel a little bit more comfortable in our own skin.

I love this woman, I love what she's doing, I am so impressed by her how she just keeps going

despite I know all the negative comments and feedback that she gets on an almost daily basis

in her feed and I know how hard it is to keep going when people are constantly trying to knock you down
