3 | Body Love, Acceptance & Awareness with Liz Reichard, Qoya Queen & body image expert

from TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife · host Penny van der Sluys

Our bodies get a LOT of attention! And it's not all positive. They are harshly judged by our culture, community and our inner critic! As we move through life, our body changes. We're taught to resist, distrust, manipulate, control and fight our body. In this episode, I've invited Liz Reichard, a Body Image expert, and teacher of the embodied dance practice, Qoya, to share her views on how we can live a turned on life in the body we have. We discuss: Why it's important to give attention to our body. How to feel turned on in the body you have. Why midlife is an important time for women. Embodiment and how it can help you feel turned on. The benefits of being back in your body How embodied dance can help you find and remember your power within.  The value of movement, and moving for ourselves How to feel ok in your body.  The body image spectrum from body love to body loathing The fashion industry discriminating against women based on their size Is the ideal healthy body really healthy?  Commenting on someone’s body shape Liz’s key to body liberation Liz shared some of her favourite body image role models are: Taryn Brumfit, 2023 Australian of the Year and maker of the documentary 'Embrace' The Embrace Collective - started by Taryn to help create better body image now and for future generations Lizzo - African American singer Sydney Bell - African American dancer and model Amy Pence-Brown - American fat positive activist.  Amy Sheppard - Australian singer from the band Sheppard and of her own music, in particular "Kiss My Fat Ass" check out the video!
