Radical Embodiment

I didn't want to hate my body; I just knew I did. Women worldwide have imbibed messages that drown out the innocence, curiosity, and biological wonder of living in a body filled with potential. This self-hate is a cultural control mechanism that ravages female bodies and, in some cases, results in harm or death. I lived with multiple eating disorders and body dysmorphia from ages 11-23. I healed once I discovered how to feel my feelings. Guess where they were? They were trembling in hiding within my body, waiting for gentle permission to express. Emily Wishall has been through the arduous and radical process of compassionately connecting her body story from hate to like to love. Her new book welcomes you into your body safely and patiently, giving you room to breathe, grieve and transform. If any portion of your life is silenced with thoughts of your weight, waistline or your worthiness, I encourage you to page your way through this trustworthy guide. -Jill Miller, C-IAYT, author of The Roll Model and Body by Breath, co-founder of Tune Up Fitness Worldwide Author, practitioner, and thought leader, Emily Wishall, has taken a familiar topic and pressed the refresh button. The result in her book, Radical Embodiment: A Practical Guide to Celebrating the Skin You're In, is a relevant and authoritative deep dive into the way through an all-too-familiar struggle for anyone who wants to feel more alive, happier, and healthier in their body. To anyone who may erroneously think that they've read it all, nothing is new, and there is no hope for their own personal transformation, think again. Emily brings a refreshing perspective from the best possible places: her own authentic journey, plus her vast professional training, plus having helped countless students and clients. Emily has earned her stripes as a compassionate expert. Her generosity to share her story for the purpose of shedding light for others who want and need to break through makes this book timeless and urgent at the same time. -Rosie Bank, author of Health Matters: 52 Ways to Get Your Body to Love You Back Emily Wishall is a gift. Her vulnerability allows her readers to feel truly seen and heard. Her voice speaks like a trusted friend and lets you know that you are not alone. I believe this book will help many women connect with their bodies again. Maybe even for the first time. -Suzanne Hanna, psychotherapist, founder of The Wilderness Walk Emily is extraordinary at guiding women into an embodied state. She can identify the subtle messages and ways we as women relate to our bodies and support us in getting aligned from within so that we can love our bodies and thrive within them. This book is a must-read to get yourself relating to your body from an entirely new perspective. -Kavita J. Patel, relationship expert, creator of Soul Level Love I so enjoyed this book. Self-love and accepting your body are something we talk a lot about but few people actually give you the tools. One of the things I loved about this book was that Emily gives you real tools and practices that show you how to love your body. She makes specific suggestions that support your mind, body, and spirit to change how you think and feel. This book provides support for mindset and inspired action. The super simple practices at the end of each chapter gives you a true feeling of being embodied and how good that can feel. Thank you Emily! -Dawn Todd, founder of Soul Awakening Entrepreneurs
