Dr. Lindsay Kite is co-author of the new book “More Than a Body” and co-director of the nonprofit Beauty Redefined, alongside her identical twin sister Lexie Kite. While many well-intentioned people promote positive body image from the basis of helping women realize and embrace their beauty, Lindsay and Lexie’s new book, More Than a Body changes the conversation about body image by telling girls and women they are MORE than beautiful. Today we’re digging deep into how self-objectification comes into play with our body image, how to build body image resilience in the face of body image disruptions, and when well-meaning body compliments do more harm than good.
