Learn to love yourself and your body with this interactive guide from the “shame-free, fun, cheerful, and no-nonsense” (Bustle) body acceptance advocate and influencer who founded Megababe beauty.“Brilliant, hilarious, adorably illustrated.”—GoopCan you imagine how much free time you’d have if you didn’t spend so much of it body shaming yourself? Katie Sturino knows all too well what it’s like to shit talk yourself. She spent thirty years of her life feeling ashamed of her body and its self-determined wrongness. Now she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her; she only cares that she’s happy and comfortable with herself. Body positivity and size inclusivity is still a relatively new phenomenon, but Sturino has dedicated her life to unlearning all that beauty standard BS and uses her blog, Instagram, podcast, and non-toxic, solution-oriented beauty products to share the message that changed her life: YOUR BODY IS NOT THE PROBLEM. With Body Talk, an illustrated guide-meets-workbook, Sturino is here to help you stop obsessing about your body issues, focus on self-love, and free up space in your brain for creative and productive energy. Complete with empowering affirmations, relatable anecdotes, and actionable takeaways, as well as space to answer prompts and jot down feelings and inspirations, Body Talk encourages you to spend less time thinking about how you look and what you eat and more time discovering your inner fierceness.

"Listened to the audiobook on and off. It was a nice little inspirational guide to learning to accept your body in where it’s at and enjoy/be grateful for what it has done/is doing for you. The author gives you homework (tips to try) to learn how to navigate through the toxic thoughts or comments of other people/family/society/media.<br/>I’m going to try to implement the “nope” strategy when I start criticizing my body to talk better to myself. Maybe that will help me reduce my cortisol levels."
"A nice short 2.5 hour audiobook. Lots of self-love language and mostly ideas that weren’t new to me, but always good reminders. Her stories and perspectives were largely familiar and I’d recommend this book to anyone, including my skinnier friends who maybe haven’t had to fight off the thoughts and opinions surrounding body size as profusely as some of us do."
