I’m chatting with Tiana Dobson, a fat certified holistic health coach, about the role activism played in her journey, why body acceptance will always be an uphill battle and the importance of language and self-compassion in healing. In this episode, we chat about: - How Tiana was a chronic dieter who eventually found fat acceptance and health at every size,  - Her experience becoming a health coach and the transformation that happened for her during this time,  - Why she needed permission to be happy and fat before she could accept it herself,  - Why health is so much more than our bloodwork, - Her explanation as to why “if you don’t like yourself fat, you won’t like yourself thin,” - Why accepting your body will always be an uphill battle, - Why Tiana doesn’t use “body positive” in her work, - The importance of language in cultivating body acceptance, - How to cultivate a practice of self-compassion to facilitate self-worth, - Why everyone can be an activist by radically accepting themselves,  Plus, so much more!
