In this episode of She's Not Done Yet: Conversations with women over 50, I chat with Nina Manolson, creator of Body Peace®.

Nina's publicist reached out to me and I was drawn immediately to the feminist ideas represented in her approach. I was particularly excited to speak with Nina because I've always struggled with my appearance, weight, and all the things women agonize over about themselves.

Nina helps people end the war with food and body and finally feel truly at home in their body—as it is. She is known for her deeply feminist, anti-diet, body-peace approach. She brings her 30 years experience as a therapist, Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Body-Trust® Guide, and Psychology of Eating Teacher to helping women create a respectful and trusting relationship with their food and body.

Her courses, coaching, and poetry positively change the conversation that women are having with their body. She also writes Body-Poems as a way to encourage a shift in the way women talk to, and about their bodies.

We start with Nina reading one of her Body-Poems, She Let Herself Go (5:25). Nina started writing Body Peace® Poems because the culture is defining the conversation we women have with our bodies. Her poems reclaim our body's voices and change the conversation.

I love it when she talks about being in a practice of being at peace with our bodies. She also touches on the way we women are trained to center ourselves on others' opinions.

I also share my body mantra with Nina: "Every day I treat my body a little better. I exercise a little more and I eat a little better."

Nina also has a Body Peace® app, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
