Amanda Mittman and Cara D’Anello would like you to know that you are enough. Your weight doesn’t define you but your genetics and body composition have charted your course. We are all warped by the healthcare industry, diet culture, the patriarchy, and capitalism that we have lost all sense of what our body should be. No more! Let’s see what your body can be with support and wrap around services that break the ideals about what is fit, beautiful, and standard. Hint there are guidelines but screw the standards.

THE ONLY WAY TO DO GREAT WORK IS TO LOVE WHAT YOU DO

The title of this weeks episode is part of a quote by the late Steve Jobs. The full quote says; “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” While it may take a village, behind the wall and beyond, to assist justice-involved individuals with recovery and re-entry back into society, it also takes a handful of extraordinary facilitators who have dedicated their lives to their secondary education and ensuing certifications, combined with a myriad of experience, to be a changemaker in the criminal justice system.
