“There’s an adrenaline rush that comes with denying the common rules of society: that I should always be trying to lose weight, that I should always be unhappy with some flaw. To say I am perfectly content with my body and all the parts that assemble it is nothing less than radical.” ― Virgie Tovar
Today’s guest is Virgie Tovar, author, activist and one of the nation's leading experts and lecturers on fat discrimination and body image.
In this episode we discuss:
Why the world needs radical girl scouts (and where to find them)
How to remember the joy your body brought you before Diet Culture crept in
Why grief is important in diet recovery
Just how confusing is the rhetoric around health and fatness?
And more!
