Every day, women of all shapes and sizes struggle to feel happy and confident in their own bodies, and someone who is passionate about changing that is internationally recognised body image activist Taryn Brumfitt. The former ‘body loather’ travelled the globe to ask women how they really feel about their bodies, and her findings are powerfully woven together in her new documentary, Embrace (page 24).

To provide further clarity around the topic, we’ve investigated how we can learn to love our bodies from physical, mental, emotional and spiritual perspectives. So whether you’re dealing with accepting your ageing body (page 38) or are more interested in eating for your spiritual body (page 48), or perhaps you’re after tips on cultivating self-love (page 94), we’ve got you covered. For further inspiration, we caught up with former Paralympian and positive body image advocate Jessica Smith, who opens up about her struggle with depression and overcoming adversity (page 100). We also chat to our cover girl Angela Simson on living with gratitude (page 80).
