You can’t visit a grocery store or waiting room without being bombarded with messages of inadequacy. Fear sells, and the marketing industry wants to monopolize on our ever growing need to be & do "enough”. What can we do to filter those messages and create a new voice for young women that comes from a place of pride, confidence, creativity, and passion? Kate Bruno is a Registered Dietitian, Personal Trainer, and Eating Disorder educator in private practice in Charlottesville, VA. She will be speaking about the influence of media on body image & disordered eating in our culture, and what we can do to challenge the messages we so readily receive without even realizing we have a choice in the matter.
