“Suzanne Braun Levine: Thoughts on Body Image”
Have you been experiencing a certain trepidation about “letting it all hang out” in your summer wardrobe? Are you less than thrilled with your bottom in a bikini? If so, you are definitely not alone?
The ever-bodacious author of books on women, aging, and the life lessons we need to learn is joining us to share her thoughts on body image. A tender topic at any age, this issue can be especially hard on us feisty folk. So, …
