I’m a big fan of Constance Rhodes because I’ve seen firsthand her unique ability to connect with women in a fresh way. An articulate communicator, it is her transparency and ability to leave audiences with “aha” moments that have earned her a place alongside some of today’s most relevant voices. It’s always refreshing to hear from someone who is passionate about addressing the struggles we women face with an honesty and transparency that inspires all of us to do the same, and to believe that freedom is possible. Constance Rhodes is such a speaker. Constance is a dynamic communicator who challenges others to consider how new attitudes and actions can help resolve old problems and wounds. She speaks from experience and her message is penetrating. When I heard her speak in Nashville, she connected with her audience in such a way that before she was done many of them had changed their minds about food, weight and the struggle women face to accept their bodies. She is a bright new voice for a transformed generation. The chronic quest to achieve and maintain a certain 'look' or weight seems universal. Far more often than I would have liked, I heard myself whispering 'me too...' as these pages turned. Constance Rhodes has bravely stared down her cage and by inviting us into her closet, her refrigerator, her bedroom and her brokenness, she's loosened the bars for the rest of us. A bravely transparent work. Constance speaks from the heart! While her knowledge of disordered eating and chronic dieting includes thorough research of the topic, what makes her message unique is the way she invites others into her personal experience with honesty and transparency. She is a warm and caring voice for all who struggle to find balance in their approach to eating and self-image.
