For Melbourne based followers - I'm hosting a screening of the movie - Embrace - one woman's journey to inspire everyBODY. The movie is not being shown at many cinemas, but really should be.

Via Fan-Force, I am hoping to get Hoyts Greensborough (Victoria) to run the movie, one night only on Tuesday 6 September at 7pm.

If you would like to come along, please book your tickets ASAP - we have 5 days to get to the "tipping point" - 65 tickets more need to be sold. You can book via the link below.

For me, this movie is so important - as a mum of four girls, I want them to grow up being proud of their bodies!

Hope to see many of you there! (and there may even be some door prizes if we can get this over the line). Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
