Journalist, campaigner and bestselling author Milli Hill joins Toni Jones on The Shelf Help Podcast to celebrate the publication of her empowering new book, The Body Myth.
Together they explore the stories women inherit about their bodies, from menstruation and motherhood to menopause, ageing and body image, and ask what might change if we understood our bodies with more curiosity and compassion - and celebration! - instead of criticism.
From the concept of matriflux - the continual cycle of change throughout a woman's life - to the power of body literacy and self-acceptance, this is a thoughtful conversation about challenging old myths and building a kinder relationship with yourself.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why so many of us inherit and internalise beliefs about our bodies without ever questioning them.The concept of matriflux and what it teaches us about change, resilience and reinvention.How our first experiences of puberty can shape our relationship with our bodies for decades.Why body and hormonal literacy is about far more than fertility.How wwareness is 50% of transformation.Whether you're navigating puberty, motherhood, menopause or simply learning to feel more at home in your own skin, this conversation is a reminder that understanding yourself includes understanding the body you live in.

Welcome to The Shelf Help Podcast, a weekly conversation with the world's leading personal development authors.
Hosted by journalist and bibliotherapist, Toni Jones, each episode explores one self-help book and the ideas behind it to help you understand yourself a little better, and to support self-help as an everyday practice.
Some of these conversations are recorded live with our global Shelf Help community. Others are intimate one-to-ones.
But they all have one thing in common: they're designed to help you use and apply self-help, not just read or listen to it.
New episodes every Friday.
