[REPLAY] Summer Series: From Pursuing Thinness to Prioritising Body Peace

Over the next couple weeks I’m taking some time to focus on a few creative projects, and will be replaying some of my most popular episodes, which also happen to be from last year's summer series ☀️This week I’m resharing episode 05, From Pursuing Thinness to Prioritising Body Peace. I listened back through this episode, and it’s a great introduction to the summer months. We’ll explore the barriers for fat bodies in summer, the way body positivity can bypass our lived experiences, and take a look at the body appreciation spectrum.Chapters00:00 Reclaiming Summer: A Journey of Body Acceptance00:00 Introduction and Summer Series01:44 The Manifestation of Negative Body Image05:59 Body Image & Weight Loss Negotiations10:08 The Body Appreciation Spectrum25:02 Prioritising Self-Advocacy and Seeking Comfortable Products and Spaces29:06 From Pursuing Thinness to Prioritising Joy and Inner PeaceThank you for listening to The Culture Of It All! this podcast is a reader-supported publication.
