Katie Sturino knows all too well what it’s like to shit talk yourself. She spent thirty years of her life feeling ashamed of her body and its self-determined wrongness. Now she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her; she only cares that she’s happy and comfortable with herself. Body positivity and size inclusivity is still a relatively new phenomenon, but Sturino has dedicated her life to unlearning all that beauty standard BS and uses her blog, Instagram, podcast, and non-toxic, solution-oriented beauty products to share the message that changed her life: YOUR BODY IS NOT THE PROBLEM. With Body Talk, an illustrated guide-meets-workbook, Sturino is here to help you stop obsessing about your body issues, focus on self-love, and free up space in your brain for creative and productive energy. Complete with empowering affirmations, relatable anecdotes, and actionable takeaways, as well as space to answer prompts and jot down feelings and inspirations, Body Talk encourages you to spend less time thinking about how you look and what you eat and more time discovering your inner fierceness.
It’s time to bare it all about bodies! We all experience the world in a body, but we don’t usually take the time to explore what it really means to have and live within one. Just as every person has a unique personality, every person has a unique body, and every body tells its own story. In Body Talk, thirty-seven writers, models, actors, musicians, and artists share essays, lists, comics, and illustrations—about everything from size and shape to scoliosis, from eating disorders to cancer, from sexuality and gender identity to the use of makeup as armor. Together, they contribute a broad variety of perspectives on what it’s like to live in their particular bodies—and how their bodies have helped to inform who they are and how they move through the world. Come on in, turn the pages, and join the celebration of our diverse, miraculous, beautiful bodies!

A picture book edition of the board book about body liberation, offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way. Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven picture book offers clear, concrete language and beautiful imagery to introduce the concept of BODY LIBERATION. This book serves to celebrate the uniqueness of your body and all bodies, and addresses the unfair rules and ideas that currently exist about bodies. It ends with motivational action points for making the world more fair for all! While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about issues like race and gender from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice. These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult. Stunning art accompanies the simple and interactive text, and the backmatter offers additional resources and ideas for extending this discussion.
This book embarks on a journey of personal development through building the skills of emotional intelligence and body language reading for effective communication and trusting relationships. Mastering communication through reading emotions and behaviors to manage relationships and situations increases awareness and knowledge of how people view and are viewed by others.
Psychology has traditionally examined human experience from a realist perspective, focusing on observable 'facts'. This is especially so in areas of psychology which focus on the body, such as sexuality, madness or reproduction. In contrast, many sociologists, anthropologists and feminists have focused exclusively on the cultural and communicative aspects of 'the body' treating it purely as an object constructed within socio-cultural discourse. This new collection of sophisticated discursive analyses explores this divide from a variety of theoretical standpoints, including psychoanalysis, social representations theory, feminist theory, critical realism, post-structuralism and social constructionism. Body Talk reconciles the divide by putting forward a new 'materialist-discursive' approach. It also provides an introduction to social constructionist and discursive approaches which is accessible to those with limited previous knowledge of socio-linguistic theory, and showcases the distinctive contribution that psychologists can make to the field.
Table of Contents Introduction Are You Trying Too Hard to Impress? How Do I Get Out Of Here! Glib Persuasive Talk Defensive Measures and Confidence Physical and Mental Attractiveness Socially Unacceptable Behavior Oh, Those Gestures! Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction I was reading a book written in the beginning of the 20th century, where the well-run-after hero says, “If a woman has to make an impression upon me, let her show that she is not out to impress me.” Spoken like any cynical person, who is a bit spoiled, just because everybody wants to get close to him, possibly because of his personality and of course his bulging bank balance. No wonder he is tired of matchmaking mamas and even more mercenary women intending to trap him into matrimony. Things have not changed a century later because one of the innate instincts of mankind, even today, is to make a good first impression on everyone you meet, naturally, and as a matter of soothing your own ego! Also remember that human beings are really much less patient, than they were one hundred years ago, and they are quicker to make their own decisions about you, based on the first visual, audio, and vocal impact. So the first time you meet somebody, and he is impressed with your personality, until of course you open your mouth, let out a couple of four letter words, and the giggle in a high pitched tone, after you have said something vicious or unforgivable, which according to you is funny and witty, see him run for his life. You were trying to impress and show everyone around you how different you were from the common herd. You only happened to make yourself more ridiculous in the eyes of your audience, but unless you are one hundred percent egotistical, self-absorbed, and wrapped up in yourself with an overblown narcissistic mental attitude, you need to recognize the impression you make on the people around you. This is where body language comes in. Also, this is where you get to know about how powerful a first impression is, especially when somebody is trying to make one on you, or you are trying to make one on someone else. I remember a mother, who was trying to influence her son to be interested in a young lady, who was pretty, personable, stylish, fashionable, financially secure, and who belonged to the same social background and strata as the mother and son. “Mom,” he said, “K might be everything you say, but have you heard her speak? Three minutes of talking with her, and she told me how she had met some very important people, that very morning, how well known her own family is, how rich, how influential, and everyone should know that she belongs to a royal family. And you and I know that it is definitely not true. You want me to marry such a self-deluding, self-absorbed show off? ” How many of us are not very happy with our own personal backgrounds, and have begun making up a dream world of our own? I was just reading Patrick Dennis’s very satirical farcical, spoof autobiography of Belle Poitrine, [the inside joke is that her name in French means beautiful bust line/bosom.] This totally brainless, self-absorbed idiot considers herself to belong to a good family, because her mother works in a splendid house of which the owner is called “Madam.” And anybody with two bits of sense can understand what sort of house that was! But this clown decides that this gives her an aristocratic background, higher education, and even royal relations.
Knowledge is power, girlfriend. One day you were a happy-go-lucky kid, and the next—wham! Your emotions are out of control, hair is growing where it never dared grow before, and your best friend whispers to you in gym class that you need to start wearing some kind of torture contraption she calls a bra. What is going on? Body Talk gives you the lowdown on all the really weird body stuff—and shows you how all this weird stuff is actually a part of God’s plan for the beautiful, confident, grown-up you!
