Her works include Bird by Bird , Hallelujah Anyway , and Crooked Little Heart . In this special edition of Insights at the Edge originally recorded for The Self-Acceptance Summit , Tami Simon speaks with Anne about acts of “radical self-care” and how they are essential for anyone’s well-being. Anne talks about self-acceptance as an inherently feminist concept, especially around issues of body image and self-esteem. Finally, Anne and Tami discuss how it is necessary to fully accept oneself before being able to show up for others, and why modern society often argues the opposite.
