I’ve been thinking a lot about something Laurie Wagner said in episode 18 of Your Permission Prescription. She talked about letting your belly hang over your jeans… and that was never something I felt safe doing. Growing up, my body was scrutinized. Then, in my marriage, my body was scrutinized. Having a thin, toned body was the be-all, end-all. Until it wasn’t. People often say of a woman, “She’s let herself go.” But that’s not accurate. We don’t let ourselves go — we let go. In this solo episode, I reflect on letting go and loving my body as it is.
