Eat the Rules with Summer Innanen

I’m exploring body grief ­– I talk about the different ways we might experience body grief, whether we can actually “overcome” it, why it’s so hard to grieve our ideal body, the factors that determine how we process this grief, and how we can move away from the stages of grief model to other models that may be more useful for moving forward.
