An Unhinged Pep Talk About Skinny Influencers, "Toned" Arms, and Why I'm Not Buying Into Any It

Today I'm back with an unhinged pep talk/rant about the onslaught of skinny everywhere. Listen up if you're feeling this too. On this episode we talk about: How we are being gaslit into believing that Demi Moore's arms are "toned" and Hillary Duff is the new face of "body positivity". How "strong not skinny" still isn't it--and why our "body positivity should have been intersectional all along. Skinny influencers & how mean they are. Why I don't blame anyone trying to lose weight or taking GLP-1's right now, but I DO blame the system. The connections between the body trend du jour and the way women's rights are under attack. How body types as trends is ridiculous, and also how body acceptance was easier when then trend was curvier. Coming back to your "why" when it comes to the desire for weight loss. Why I'm still not making assumptions about anyone's health based on their weight and size, even if they're freakishly skinny. How we did this shit already (especially as elder millennials) and how we can feel the pressure to conform and still choose not to go back. How chasing thinness at all costs robs us of our strength and power.The difference between taking care of ourselves and forcing our bodies into submission.Other podcast episodes and books you might wanna listen to as a reminder.
