Connie Sobczak

Connie Sobczak, Founder, Executive Director, The Body Positive
Connie’s experience with an eating disorder in her teen years and the death of her sister Stephanie inspired her life’s work to help people live with more appreciation and love for their precious bodies. She founded The Body Positive in honor of Stephanie, and to ensure that her daughter Carmen and other children would grow up in a new world—one where people are free to focus on the things in life that really matter. Connie is the author of Embody: Learning to Love Your Unique Body (and quiet that critical voice!), her book in which she reconnects readers to their essence, authentic beauty, and life force. She uses her creative skills to produce The Body Positive’s curricula, videos, digital courses, and facilitator trainings. Connie’s passion is watching the light that emerges when people recognize and embrace their magnificent, authentic selves.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is this "course"?
This is the Be Body Positive Facilitator Resource Bank, where we will be adding in new content regularly to support you as a facilitator. You'll find things like inspiring videos, research instruments, reading material, and new activities to try out with the people you serve. We're always interested in hearing what would be helpful, so if you have suggestions, email [email protected] and we'll consider your suggestions.
How long do I have access to the Resource Bank?
You'll have one year's access from the date you registered for the Be Body Positive Facilitator Training. For example, if it took you one month to finish the course from the time you registered, you'll have 11 months of access. At the end of your first year, you'll be invited to join our Be Body Positive membership, which will give you continued access to all of these extra resources plus the monthly coaching calls. If you're a Be Body Positive member, you'll have access for the full year from the time you signed up for your membership.
