A Letter From Dr. Forta

Dear Mothers,

Like you, I am first and foremost a mother — and like all of us, I too, at times struggle with my self-worth and body image.

It is hard to help our daughters with something that we ourselves find challenging. So how do we help our daughters nurture their best self?

— Dr. Marcy Forta
