Get the Girlies Moving!

Are We Raising Insecure Girls? | with Dr. Aisha G. Wolfe

Episode Summary

Little girls aren’t born hating their bodies. So where does it start? The way we talk about food, exercise, and our own bodies matters more than we think. And with social media adding even more pressure to look a certain way, it’s becoming harder to separate taking care of ourselves from trying to change how we look. This week on Get the Girlies Moving, we’re joined by Dr. Aisha G. Wolfe, a school psychologist, educator, and fitness enthusiast, to talk about how our relationship with our bodies develops and how we can build a healthier one.
