102. Lauren Barnes | The Divine Gift of Our Bodies

How can we develop a healthier body image as Latter-day Saint women despite beauty norms and pressures in the world today? How can we help the young women and girls around us learn to treasure the divine gift of their bodies as they grow and develop into women? Dr. Lauren Barnes is the director of clinical training for the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Brigham Young University and specializes in women’s issues, including body image and eating disorders. Join us as we talk with Dr. Barnes about these important issues affecting Latter-day Saint women and girls today.  Resources: For more Church resources and articles about body image and eating disorders, see the August 2019 Ensign and New Era magazines: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2019/08?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/new-era/2019/08/more-than-a-body-seeing-as-god-sees?lang=eng
