I've Been Really Happy Lately

But hopefully there are even more times when we are feeling great about them! This week, Hannah Hart talks with Dr. Hanne Blank about healing our relationships to our bodies and better understanding what forces shape our body image. Here’s to having a better time in our bodies and inventing a world where that’s easier for everyone to do. Thanks so much to Dr. Blank for joining us for this episode!
