Why We Need to UNSUBSCRIBE™ From Commenting on Bodies
from UNSUBSCRIBE with Ginny Priem · host Ginny Priem
We need to talk about the comments. The comments about weight loss, weight gain, "you look so good," "have you lost weight," the ones that feel like compliments but land somewhere else entirely. In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™, Ginny shares a memory that resurfaced recently and unpacks why body commentary, even the "nice" kind, keeps us tethered to an outdated value system, especially in the middle of the GLP-1 cultural moment. With insight drawn from a close family member's work as a dietitian specializing in eating disorder recovery, Ginny walks through how to apply the UNSUBSCRIBE™ Filter to body talk: what to MUTE, what to BLOCK, and most importantly, what to SWAP it for instead. If you've ever commented on someone's body (or even your own) and wondered if you should have, this episode is for you.🎙️ This episode is brought to you by:SPOOGE.
