Today's episode is unlike any other episode ever here on Wellness Wonderland Radio. I recorded a LIVE duo podcast at Theater Lab in NYC with my good friend Chrissy Harrison, host of Food Psych.

This week Summer and I talk about ditching diets, self-love, cultivating confidence and what to do on a "bad body image day."
