Wake Up with Natalie Rose

16. Raising Body Positive Kids with Zoë Bisbing


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with therapist and body image expert Zoë Bisbing, LCSW, to unpack the evolution of body positivity—what it is, where it’s gone, and whether it’s truly helping us heal. We explore the rise of “Skinnytok,” the shift toward body neutrality and food neutrality, and why these concepts may be more supportive for those recovering from a childhood shaped by diet culture.


Whether you're doing your own healing work, or you're a parent—or hope to be one—you'll find compassionate, practical strategies here. Zoë shares ways to support kids through body image struggles, weight changes, and how to talk about food, exercise, and health without linking them to worth or identity. This is a must-listen for anyone wanting to break the intergenerational cycle of body shame and raise resilient, body-confident kids!
