The best-selling body image book for teens…
I wrote The Body Confidence Book to empower teens to challenge harmful beauty ideals and respect their bodies.
By age 15, 60% of us struggle with body confidence—it’s seen as normal, but it doesn’t have to be. From social media filters to pressures from friends and family, our bodies have been through enough. It’s time to disrupt these outdated standards and build communities that celebrate diversity.
Using science and storytelling, I break down key topics like toxic social media content, diverse role models, and expressing yourself through your appearance. Packed with practical exercises—from curating your social media feed to body appreciation activities—this book gives you the tools to push back against stereotypes and feel at home in your body. Because every body deserves respect.
Originally published by Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, The Body Confidence Book is available in English, German, Italian and French.
