{The Body Liberation Guide} 😓 Overcoming picture grief
Hi friend,
A quick note about a known issue on the website: There was a bug that was preventing customers from being able to view all parts of the My Account page. It’s been fixed, so now you can set your payment options, view saved addresses and reset your password.
Also, I had the pleasure of appearing on the Body Grievers Club podcast this week! You can listen at the link in the button below, or read Spotify’s transcription. (I’m also working on getting us a better transcription.)
Here’s the episode description:
