Heart of Dating is thrilled for you to hear this conversation today. Many of you know our host, Kait, has been working on writing a book. Part of that process has been studying a variety of topics, one of the, also being body shame. Today Kait had the privilege of sitting down with a new friend, Dr. Morgan Francis to talk about body image and body shame an it’s affect on dating. Dr. Morgan Francis is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and a Licensed Mental Health Therapist as well as a wife and mother to three children in Scottsdale, Arizona. She is the owner of Scottsdale Premier Counseling, in Scottsdale, Arizona. Her mission is to break through the mental health shame game. With over 20 years of experience specializing in the treatment of Body Image and Eating Disorders, Dr. Francis can empower you to make peace with your body and food. Dr. Francis believe that for too long society has been embracing Diet Culture and pushing you to believe how you look is not good enough. No matter how thin or fit you look, you cannot outrun the pressures that surround you. The transformation of loving and appreciating your body happens internally, not externally. Dr. Francis has developed online courses on Body image and Self- Love that will help you to take back your life. She has also been featured on a variety of events and news outlets from the Powerhouse Women’s Event, and was even recognized by Lululemon as a Female Leader making a difference for her inspiring work on Body Image. She’s also a frequent guest on Fox 10 News as an expert in the mental health field. Dr. Francis talks about the psychology of having a low view of our bodies and ourselves and how that can affect how we show up in dating. Crushing on a cutie?
