Ep. 041: Melissa Carmona on Body Image Across Cultures - a podcast by Jessi Haggerty, RDN, CPT

Today I’m speaking with Melissa Carmona, a HAES therapist in North Carolina. Melissa talks about her experience growing up in Columbia, South America and what messages she received about body image from a Latino Country and what it was like making the transition to live in the US. We dig into how mental health stigma runs deep in South America, and how there are so few resources for women especially, to receive help.
