Forever grateful for this experience.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\"Truly, this group has changed my life for the better and came into my life at perfect timing in my recovery and learning to love, accept, and embrace the feeling of fueling my body and the changes the come with it. this has been the first space - outside of my family - that has allowed me to share my story, struggles, small wins, insecurities, emotions, and most importantly embrace my growth !!!! thank you so much!!! <333”\n\n\n\n\n\"The Body Positive program has forever changed my outlook on self-love, body awareness, and self-compassion. The moderators and fellow participants in the program were essential in giving me the tools and resources to re-wire my thoughts so that I can expand my definition of beauty and approach myself with more self-love than ever before.
