Embody: A Guide to Celebrating Your Unique Body (and quieting that critical voice!) brings to life the work of The Body Positive, a non-profit founded in 1996. The book emphasizes that individuals possess the wisdom to make healthy choices and live in balance.

The guide outlines five core competencies: Reclaim Health, Practice Intuitive Self-Care, Cultivate Self-Love, Declare Your Own Authentic Beauty, and Build Community. These skills can be practiced daily to honor one’s innate wisdom and promote self-care motivated by love and appreciation.
