This Good Word With Steve Wiens

Melissa Louise Johnson is a writer, a Marriage and Family Therapist, and a gifted Spiritual Director. She advocates for embracing authentic beauty in the world through her podcast and her blog, both called Impossible Beauty. We talked about her journey with body image and food issues, as well as how she's writing and revealing a counter-narrative about beauty in a world that still praises thinness at all costs.  Check out Melissa's podcast and blog, and follow her on Instagram and Facebook.  Resources mentioned on the episode: The Illusionist (documentary)  The Emily Program Melrose Center Hillary McBride
