Today, we have a very special guest joining us: Marci Warhaft. Marci isn't just your average expert on body image and self-esteem – her journey is truly inspiring. After battling a severe eating disorder for years, stemming from a tumultuous past and struggles with self-worth, Marci found the strength to reclaim her life and health. Her story is one of resilience, courage and ultimately, triumph. Before her recovery, Marci grappled with shame and fear, feeling as though she could never measure up to society's standards. But through perseverance and determination, she shattered those barriers and discovered a newfound sense of freedom and self-acceptance. In 2007, Marci founded the Fit vs Fiction Body Image workshops, a platform dedicated to empowering children and adults alike to embrace healthy self-esteem in today's image-obsessed world. Her workshops provide a safe space for open dialogue, encouraging individuals to share their struggles and concerns without fear of judgment. Recognized as one of Canada's Top 100 Health Leaders by Optimyz Fitness and wellness magazine for four consecutive years (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021), Marci's impact extends far beyond her workshops. She's also a published author, using her platform to spread messages of hope, resilience, and self-love. Join us as we delve into Marci's incredible journey, exploring her triumphs, challenges and the invaluable lessons she's learned along the way. Get ready for an insightful and empowering conversation that will leave you feeling inspired and uplifted. https://www.marciwarhaft.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Good Stripper: A Soccer Mom's Memoir of Lies, Loss and Lapdances https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1989555349/ref=sw_img_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.facebook.com/fitvsfiction ------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.instagram.com/marciwarhaft -------------------------------------------------------------------- https://linktr.ee/marciwarhaft -------------------------------------------------------------------- RATE or REVIEW https://ratethispodcast.com/deluxeditionpod ------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.deluxeedition.show -------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOTLEG MERCH https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/37221930-deluxe-edition-bootleg?store_id=1684087 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.instagram.com/deluxeditionpod ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out The Deluxe Edition Network: https://www.deluxeeditionnetwork.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- T-SHIRTS https://whatamaneuver.net/collections/deluxe-edition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DELUXE10 for 10 % off https://copperjohnsbeard.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DELUXE10 for 10% off https://coffeebros.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DELUXE20 for 20% off! https://www.calderalab.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
