Aaron Doing the Good Work

Aaron is uniquely suited to host this podcast, with his specialization (among others) in men's body image, his Body Trust training, high emotional intelligence, and warm interviewing skills. I worked with Aaron a few years back and those Body Trust sessions have had great and lasting value for me. With this pod, Aaron's working at intersections that haven't been explored enough in our culture, which makes this work very important indeed, and it's fascinating and enlightening to listen to.

Yes! About time

I so appreciate Aaron having these raw, vulnerable conversations. Diet culture’s effects on men have long been understudied or shared. Will refer so many people to this podcast!

Wonderful

Exciting to finally hear from men about how they feel about their bodies.
