Ep. 34 | Reclaiming Self-Care in a Fat Body
from The Culture Of It All · host Melanie Knights
Self-care isn’t just for thin, white, able-bodied people—but it’s often marketed that way. In this episode, I’m exploring what weight-neutral self-care really looks like for those of us in larger bodies. I talk about how self-care spaces exclude fat folks, how wellness culture co-opts our care, and why self-care doesn’t need to be aesthetic to be valid. I also share my personal self-care menu—and invite you to reflect on what you need today, without guilt or performance.🎧 Listen to this episode on Substack, subscribe and get every episode a week early.Thank you for listening to The Culture Of It All! this podcast is a reader-supported publication.
