The stories that live in our bodies

• November 2018
Whether spoken or unspoken, our stories live in our bodies. And, women are barraged with constant messaging that there is something *wrong* with our bodies. When we buy into those messages, we cut ourselves off from our voices, our power and our stories. Speaking truth to cut through the lies, Johanna Walker uncovers layers of our collective story to reveal what becomes possible when women reclaim their bodies and their voices.
