Clare Sheehan started an Instagram account about a year ago to document her journey in recovery and discovering body positivity. In this episode of Nutrition Matters Podcast, she shares her personal story of becoming body positive and the complexities and struggles in her ongoing journey. Clare talks about how her definition of body positivity has changed throughout the years and months of diving into the research, culture and movement behind it. She shares how growing up in a larger body and the associated stigma affected her life, self-love and her approach to food and her body and talks about what has helped her progress in her own personal journey.   This episode is a fascinating look at one woman's story of what has resonated with her in the process of uncovering her own sense of self-love and how she has used her platform to advocate more widely in the body positive movement.    Links mentioned:   Follow Clare on Instagram   Article by Kelsey Miller on Refinery 29  Leave a review for the podcast  here   Paige's online course   Join the Nutrition Matters Podcast Community on FB
