Aimee and Lisa are anxious: about germs, about mortality, about the state of the world (and things far less serious, too). Each week they grapple with one of their anxieties, from the trivial to the existential, in a humorous and heartfelt way. They're helped along by smart and entertaining guests like Simon Doonan and Anne Roiphe, who offer advice—and some homework!—for our hosts to overcome their various anxieties.

This week, Lisa and Aimee examine their complicated relationship with their bodies—how they can be both attuned enough to obsess over various aches and pains, while also feeling the disjointed distancing that societal expectations of beauty can create.
They’re joined by illustrator Ariella Elovic, who runs @thecheekyblog and wrote and illustrated Cheeky: A Head to Toe Memoir. Ariella shares how she found body acceptance thanks to a tight-knit group of girlfriends at summer camp, and offers her honest and entertaining approach to loving your body, in all of its exquisite wonder and, occasionally, grossness.
