Deeply personal, Larissa shares her current journey with self-acceptance after realizing she has struggled with Body Dysmorphia, Fat Phobia, and Disordered Eating. The Socially Modern Neighbor wanted to bring this to the table, because often people aren't living out their most healthy lives, and its not because they are overweight, or physically unhealthy, but because they struggle with truly loving themselves. Society has done a lot to convince us and teach us what is 'right' or 'wrong' when it comes to caring for our bodies, and although this is not wrong in of itself, often we forget the more important thing that makes us who we are...our souls, our thinking, and living healthy within our homes and communities.

Its important to remain aware of people groups that we may overlook, or don't realize we are harming by neglecting truthful conversations and awareness of how we may be harming people around us. Bottom line, you are not your body. Your body and health are important, but lets get to the foundation and root of what makes us unique and special.

In this episode Larissa shares her experience at Sotol, a modern cocktail kitchen out of Gilbert, Arizona. For a wonderful rooftop experience, check out Sotol for your next date or night out. https://sotolmck.com/
