In this episode hosts Dana, Sirius and Hilary discuss the importance of 'body stories,' defined as the narratives of living in one's own body, often shaped by cultural perceptions and lived experiences. The episode underscores the significance of these stories in body trust work, explaining how understanding them helps externalize self-blame, shame, and anger, ultimately contributing to healing and empowerment. They also touch on how oppressive systems impact body stories and suggest various ways to explore and reclaim these narratives. Additionally, upcoming events like the Body Story workshop and a GLP-1 webinar are highlighted. The episode features excerpts from body stories shared by members of their community, further illustrating the transformative power of this practice.
