In this extended podcast exclusive Leo chats with Tarn Brumfitt about her new book Embrace.

In 2012 mother of three Taryn was contemplating impending plastic surgery which would make her breasts perky, plus neatly tuck away that excess fat from her stomach, she had an epiphany.

“If I go through with this, what am I saying to my daughter about body image? How will I teach her to love her body? How am I going to encourage her to accept and love her body, when I am standing in front of her with a surgically enhanced body? What type of hypocrite or mother would I be?”

Since then Taryn has formed the Body Image Movement, is working on a documentary and has just published her book Embrace.

Taryn chats with Leo about her journey, writing the book, working on the documentary and offers some sound advice to those suffering from body image and how to embrace what you have.

EMBRACE: My Story From Body Loather To Body Lover is available from all good book stores now.
