It's time to revisit this amazing episode! Looking in the mirror and loving what you see can be challenging! That's why Jeannie Mai has invited professional psychotherapist and registered dietician, Dr. Supatra Tovar onto the show to discuss how to celebrate your body through practicing self-compassion and mindfulness. First, Dr. Tovar fills the fam in on what she calls the "hidden disorder" of body dysmorphia and how to combat lookism and weightism, while Jeannie discusses her own triumphs over her own body dysmorphia. Dr. Tovar will also teach methods of breaking negative thought patterns and even walks Jeannie (and you!) through a mini-live meditation to become more aware of the thoughts that fill your mind and how to curate your brain feed!

Would you pay to cuddle with a stranger? Jeannie Mai wants to know! So she's brought on professional cuddler, Christina Myers Hepburn to discuss WHAT this brand of "touch therapy" entails. The two discuss everything from how Christina sets boundaries with her clients (so things don't get too pervy) and who the ideal recipient for a cuddle session is (Christina claims it's just literally everyone). They also get to the bottom of the question...is cuddling cheating? And later, get into a much deeper discussion about trauma and how cuddling can ease so many different ailments. http://ritual.com/MAI to get 10% off your first three months http://warbyparker.com/MAI for your free home try-on http://shoedazzle.com/MAI to get your first pair as low as $10 as a VIP https://Cuddlist.com/Christina @chrihepburn Learn more about your ad choices.
