We\u2019re so critical of our bodies, thanks to messages we received when we were still running around with skinned knees and gap-toothed grins: \u201cYou must be beautiful to be loved. And beautiful looks like young, thin, and firm.\u201d How do we widen our scope of \u201cbeautiful?\u201d How can we fight back those messages and claim the worthiness of our bodies, just as they are right now? This week, Nancy sits down with Mary DeMuth, an author and speaker who shares her long road to recovery after experiencing sexual abuse in childhood. That trauma impacted the way Mary has viewed her body throughout her life. And today, Mary and Nancy dive into what it means to be kind to our bodies at all stages. Mary leads us through the \u201cwhy\u201d of the negative messages we receive about our bodies throughout our lives, and shows that no matter what stage we\u2019re in, we are worthy of love and our bodies are worth celebration.    * * * Breathe life into your soul and find your God-given power with Nancy\u2019s \u201cCalled to Confidence\u201d 20-day guide.
