TW: Talk of Fat Shaming & Weight Stigma

As we are moving towards a body positive society, there are always setbacks. 

This episode was inspired by a situation that the host, Tara, experienced recently. Tara was asked to speak at an event and recorded a promo video for the organization to promote it. Once the video was posted, Tara was met with hateful comments shaming her about her body weight and qualifications about being a personal trainer due to her appearance.

Despite her journey of self-acceptance, the backlash from her colleagues affected her mental well-being.

Throughout this episode, the hosts, including a personal trainer, therapist, and dietitian, provide valuable insights into handling and navigating body shaming, even in an era that promotes body positivity.

If you've experienced body shaming or any form of bullying, this episode offers practical tools and advice to help you overcome negativity and emerge stronger.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Tara's recent experience with body shaming.

Remember: All bodies deserve unconditional respect and care.
