Fitness & Nutrition, Health, Sexuality

As we know, midsumma has kiced off with the huge outdoor Carnival day. A day often sprinkled with scantily clad folk living their best lives under the Melbourne sun.

We dive into where body image issues stem from with our community and how to better embrace our bodies.
