Chrissy King is BACK for her second round on the pod. This time, we’re diving deep into the intricate ways diet culture, body autonomy, dating culture, and yes, even childless cat ladies, are all connected. I promise there’s a through-line here—and it’s more liberating than any “hot girl summer” meme you’ve ever scrolled past.

Some of the things we chat about...

• What is on Chrissy’s Plate
• How she is accepting rest as a part of achievement 
• How we can think of rest as a privilege and as freedom
• Childless cat ladies and being child-free by choice
• The parallels between dating culture and diet culture
• What Chrissy means when she says she is decentering men in her life
• The choice to not have children 
• Why chasing men is like chasing thinness 
• Breaking free of rules for how to live as a "good" woman
• Liberation beyond the body
• How to know what we want and choose that
• No longer organizing our life around our appearance
• Reclaiming time and energy from chasing what isn’t meant for us
• And so much more!
