Why Our Struggle with Body Image is Real AF with Dr. Hillary McBride

Meet Hillary…

In one of our favourite episodes to date, Dr. Hillary McBride shares her wealth of knowledge on the world of body image, helping us understand how we got here and how we end the cycle.  We talk about finding our own sense of self worth, the comparison game, why we consume media we know we shouldn’t and how parents can help raise kids with healthy body image. 

Dr. Hillary McBride is a registered clinical counsellor in private practice in Vancouver and PhD candidate in Counselling Psychology at UBC. When she is not doing clinical work she is researching, speaking, and writing. Her areas of clinical and research specialty focus on the intersection of spirituality and mental health, embodiment, eating disorders, body image.

Hillary’s work has been recognized by both the American and Canadian Psychological Associations, and she was recently awarded the International Young Investigator Award for her research contributions so early in her career. In 2017, she published her first book with Post Hill Press – Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image: Learning to Love Ourselves as We Are.
