Hi,
It's been a minute since I wrote an update and gosh do I miss my more regular writing routine.
I am hopping on here to announce a brand new (free!) book club! I am collaborating with the incredible Marilee Pumple, Registered Dietitian to explore and celebrate some fantastic books about food, body image and exercise/movement.
We do not yet have an official name for our book club, so if you have any ideas, we would love to hear them!
How does it work?
Approximately every ~6-8 weeks, we will highlight a new book to support healing your relationship with food, movement and/or your body in general. On social media you will see us highlighting our favourite quotes and aspects of the book & via email we will be sharing journal prompts and discussion questions. If you would like to discuss any of the topics in more depth, please chat to us in session about how the topics apply to you (or could be translated into practice for you).
Do you have a book idea that you’d like us to feature for our next pick? Let us know!
January 2024 pick: The Body Liberation Project by fitness, wellness, and body-positivity influencer and coach Chrissy King.
If you'd like to sign up, you can do so here: https://subscribepage.io/6xcvD4
As we start to dig into this book, we encourage you to spend some time journaling and/or talking with a trusted friend about this question in King’s “From Principal to Practice” section: “What is your current relationship to your body/body image?”
In the coming days and weeks you will see us posting King’s “From Principal to Practice” questions online and sharing responses anonymously. We have also shared some journal prompts/fave quotes and discussion questions from the Intro, Ch1 & 2!
More soon,
Monica
This was a nice read because it stayed simple and didn’t drag things out. I didn’t have to keep scrolling back to figure out what the point was, and the examples felt like stuff people actually run into. Halfway through I ended up clicking around newimage.io too, mostly because it has that same “quick help without the fluff” feel when you want to check something fast. What I liked here is how the headings break everything up so you can skim and still catch the important bits. The paragraphs are short enough that it doesn’t feel like a wall of text, and it’s easy to jump to the part you care about. The page is laid out with clear headings…
