Your Hair Tells a Story

In today’s episode, I speak with Margo Maine, Ph.D., an author, speaker, and clinical psychologist who has specialized in eating disorders and related issues for over 35 years. She is the Founder and former Adviser of the National Eating Disorders Association and Founder and Fellow of the Academy for Eating Disorders She has won numerous awards and written eight books. Her most recent book, Hair Tells a Story: Hers, Yours, & Ours, explores women’s relationship with their hair, a critical feminist issue and a neglected aspect of body image.
