This book provides nourishing practices and language for women to examine unhealthy narratives and replace them with healthy ones. McBride has been an excellent teacher for me and I always learn something from her that is both thoughtful and useful. Her book is a gentle guide for women who desire to re-examine the old scripts over their bodies and embrace a new one.

“The Body Is Not An Apology” discusses the many ways body shame is absorbed and becomes inherited. It offers both an invitation and a toolkit to dismantle that shame, and replace it with radical self-love.
