from The Culture Of It All · host Melanie Knights
As we wrap up this season of The Culture Of It All, we’re rewinding to an episode that holds a very special place in my heart — Fat Positive Fall. In this cozy, reflective replay, I share how autumn feels like coming home to myself and how this season has often marked a time of clarity, creativity, and joy in my fat body. I talk about what it means to pursue joy, how I’m learning to shift away from the constant “fight,” and why rest, rage, and radical softness all belong in our fat liberation work.Whether you’re planning spooky season activities or just looking for inspiration to create more joy and ease in your fat body this autumn, I hope this episode feels like a warm cup of something delicious and a reminder that you’re not alone.Let’s create a fat positive fall, on our own terms. 🍁Chapters:00:00 Welcome to The Culture of It All01:20 Fat Positive Fall: Embracing the Season07:01 The Complexities of Body Positivity12:33 Choosing Joy Over Negativity17:25 Pursuing Joyful Activities This FallThank you for listening to The Culture Of It All! this podcast is a reader-supported publication.
