CW: fat shame, bias, eating disorders.
This episode, in a three part series, is a must listen for fat positive clinicians, therapists, coaches and lay people alike. Body positivity and fat liberation were once two sides of the same coin but as body positivity became hijacked and re-centered largely on thin-privileged, white women those in the most marginalized bodies on the size spectrum were left behind. This episode may be hard to listen to at times for some. But it is such a necessary topic AND the voices of those with this special lived experience need to be elevated.
