Why is it so hard for us to simply accept our bodies – just as they are? That’s exactly what Miriam discusses in this episode with Susanne Krammer, aka @fraubeauty – author, beauty influencer, and entrepreneur. After years of struggling with an eating disorder and sepsis that nearly ended her life, she began to understand her body in a new way. No longer as something that constantly needs to be optimized, but as her home. A conversation about pain, shame, and healing – but also about body perception, boundaries, vanity, and the fine line between self-improvement and self-destruction. Featuring Susanne’s new book “Good Enough!” (Rowohlt).
Trigger warning: This episode deals with body issues, eating disorders, and a surgery that almost cost Susanne her life. If you need help, you can reach the helpline at 116 016.
