What if the ways we’ve learned to live with food and our bodies could begin to make sense—and even soften—when seen through a deeper, more compassionate understanding of our story? In Part 2 of this series, Stasi and Diane Summers continue their conversation on food and the body as they explore the impact of our early years. As shame is named and grace is invited in, a more grounded and accepting way forward begins to unfold. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling encouraged, blessed by mercy, and hopeful for the goodness that is ahead.
