UC 204: Body Image with Suzi Le Fanue

Kim spoke at the local screening of Embrace along with Suzi, they were floored by the disrespect many people in the film had,  in despising their bodies and themselves.  The conversation begins with where did this dislike come from what are the outside forces perpetuating this disrespect for oneself and body image. Health of the body is a target to reach rather than striving for the perfect number on the scales, achieving this is harder than we think in this modern world.

UC 201: Getting Things Done – Elspeth Haswell-Smith

What drives someone to open a cafe, parent 2 children alone, get a degree in psychology and anthropology, counsel in psychology on domestic violence, finish Twenty8 HLE program and the Changing Habits Online Nutrition Course (first graduate), complete her masters and want to journey into a PhD at the age of 31.  Elspeth Haswell Smith has done just that and at a young age has the wisdom of someone much older.  Self love and self respect is something that we delve into in order to see how we can feel the fear but do it anyway.
