007 | Summer Series: 7 ideas to prioritise joy and honour your needs this summer

The body positive rhetoric that shows up at this time of year is failing folks in larger bodies. So in this episode, I’m rewriting the narrative, and sharing 7 ways in which you can prioritise joy and honour your needs, especially during the uncomfortable summer months.We’ll explore the difference between joy and happiness and some of the ways I struggle with the concept of joy in a larger body. I encourage you to think about what you enjoy about the summer and to focus on those activities, emphasising the importance of getting creative and finding ways to nourish oneself emotionally and mentally.You’ll also hear me talk about my recent experience watching the film 'Your Fat Friend', what I’m working on and the upcoming Summerween sticker sale starting July 1st.Links mentioned in this episode:Aubrey GordonMaintenance PhaseYr Fat Friend FilmOutlaw Creatives Sticker ShopAshley Looker, Unique Holistic HappinessDownload Your Digital Bingo Board / Bucket List PDFAuthors: Alexia Onyx, Mary Warren, S J Tilly, Kayla Grosse, Amy AwardPodcasts: The Satisfaction Factor with Sadie & Naomi, Fat Joy with Sophia Apostol,  Body Grievers Club by Bri Campos, Fats On Film from Hannah Ogilvie, Burnt Toast by Virginia Sole-SmithJournal Prompts:What activities or hobbies make you lose track of time?What's a simple pleasure that always brings a smile to your face?
