James Parr: How can I learn to love my body?

Do you want to talk to yourself in a kinder way when you look in the mirror? For this episode, I'm joined by Queer, First Nations Triathlete, Model and Disability Advocate James Parr.  James wants to help people change the way they think about themselves and their bodies, so I’ve asked him to help answer my BIG question ‘How can I learn to love my body?’ After losing his leg to amputation, James initially struggled to accept his new body and the way people looked at him differently  Fast forward to now and James has learned to love his post cancer body as an amputee, and in this episode gives us some great food for thought around our own bodies, and also how we might change the way we talk about disability.
