Episode 68 is a very special and tender episode. Listen in to hear my colleague and friend share her vulnerable and important story of navigating infertility in a fat body. Sarah shares not only her experience but also her wisdom, ways of coping and resources for anyone else navigating this difficult journey. Infertility is hard enough, but navigating the weight stigma in the medical field when you just want your child, is brutal. As always, you can find me on my website: www.eatingdisorderocdtherapy.com or on IG @bodyjustice.therapist.
About Sarah:
Sarah Jane Thomas (she/her) is a licensed therapist who works virtually with folks navigating body image, trauma, and recovery from diet culture. Her California-based practice centers fat liberation, body autonomy, and the kind of therapy that actually honors your whole messy, beautiful self.
Sarah identifies as fat, queer, neurodivergent—and also happens to be in the middle of a solo fertility journey. So when it comes to talking about weight stigma in the infertility world, she brings both personal and professional truth. She’s passionate about calling out the harm in “weight loss before care” policies and advocating for inclusive reproductive support that doesn’t shame people for their bodies.
She’s also working on something new: Body Rebel Club, a coaching space and community for folks reclaiming body trust on their own terms—open to people anywhere in the world. It’s launching soon, so head to bodyrebelclub.com and follow @bodyrebelclub on Instagram to be the first to know.
If you're in California and looking for therapy that honors lived experience and liberation, visit sarahjanethomas.org or follow@embodiedself_therapy on Instagram to connect.
