Connie Sobczak

CONNIE SOBCZAK is the co-founder of The Body Positive, a nonprofit organization established in 1996, and the author of Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body (and quiet that critical voice!).

Sobczak’s video Discover Your Healthy Weight received a grand festival award at the 2009 Berkeley Video & Film Festival, and she was a 2008 semi-finalist for a Volvo for Life award honoring real-life heroes.

When she’s not writing, Sobczak works as a mentor and educator dedicated to helping people develop a loving relationship with their bodies. Her own experience with an eating disorder in her teen years, and the death of her sister Stephanie, directly shaped that work.

Connie lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Connie Sobczak’s books are published by Gurze Books, an imprint of Turner Publishing.
