Body Kindness

Actress and comedian Lisa Linke (Bless the Mess on ABC) joins me to talk about the intersections of diet culture and entertainment. We discuss how social media continues to help her on her relationship with her body. Plus she dishes on her podcast Go Help Yourself and a free way you can coax her into doing (legit) silly stuff on Instagram.

As a mom I wonder daily how I'm doing at helping my kids make sense of the world and that includes their bodies, other people's bodies, and how we all treat each other. Angie Manfredi has collected a powerful book of essays, art, and poems from adults speaking directly to teens who may feel like they don't belong because they believe "my body is a problem". The (Other) F Word: A Celebration of the Fat and Fierce reads like empowering "love letters" from the contributors to their younger life versions.... the book they wish they had when they needed it.

In this interview we discuss reasons why many fat activists want to liberate the word fat as a descriptor and why that is hard for many people to do. (Hint: cultural rules and norms!)

Tune in for Angie's amazing answers to this question and more. Plus I read two excerpts as a teaser for you. This book helped me as an adult. Even though it targets teens, anyone who is interested will learn something meaningful from this book.

About Angie Angie Manfredi is a librarian and writer who owns every season of Law and Order on DVD and sends over 150 handwritten Valentines every year. She has spent the last 11 years working directly with children and teens of all ages in a public library and now works in library consulting on all things youth services. Angie is fat and not sorry about it. She is a passionate advocate for literacy, diversity, and decolonizing the discourse surrounding children's literature.

Bernie and I are back with a special episode of Learn and Grow where we answer questions from people who are reading and listening to Body Kindness.

We answer listener questions about leaving behind the rules of dieting for practicing body kindness, how to help empower our kids with awareness and compassion, plus we help a listener whose "healthy eating" still feels like restriction.

Feel like your time isn't your own? Author and mom of four Laura Vanderkam has an answer. Track your time. Laura believes that the awareness that comes with time use tracking helps you find the correct narratives about your life rather than defeatist narratives you may have. For example, the fears "if I work full time I'll never see my family" or self care "I'm tired so I never get enough sleep." In Body Kindness we know that our thoughts can get the best of our emotional well being and lead to downward spirals. Laura wants you to see that these thoughts aren't necessarily true or helpful. You can adopt a "good enough" viewpoint with time use and allow the information to help you change how you spend your time where it really matters to your values.

In this episode we discuss the intersections of mindfulness and time use. How you can tend to your time like you would tend to a garden and capture a sense of agency over controllable aspects of your time rather than time passing without even noticing where it goes. Plus I answer body kindness reader questions about "time troubles".

In this two-part episode, fellow anti-diet mom Virginia Sole-Smith and I discuss the ways in which culture sabotages parents, especially moms, by upholding unhelpful beliefs about food and weight.

Tune in where we discuss how to handle unwelcome comments about our kids' bodies or food choices, what to do when they say "fat," and how to model body positivity. Plus I share some of my best tips for parents in setting boundaries with love and kindness. You'll also hear me talk about the "back off" Lunch Box card by The Feeding Doctor, Katja Rowell, MD and I share my experiences with my kids eating at school.

Links mentioned The Feeding Doctor's Lunch Box "Back Off" note Leslie Schilling's completed "back off" card on Facebook and available in Born to Eat book.

Virginia shares her rock bottom moment of what it took to finally give her daughter chocolate milk and why she had to unlearn much of what she learned from culture, her childhood, and her work as a writer and editor within the health and beauty industry.

In the wake of Episode 125 reacting to WW's Kurbo app, people are asking, "So what do I do then?". That's what I want to help with today. No matter if you're a parent or you have a job or community service that interacts with kids, we can all advocate for the well-being of all kids and we use our voices to stop the harm and speak out against making weight loss the goal for growing kids.

I share the practical steps I recommend for approaching kids' health, including:

1. Centre the wellbeing of the child and affirm their goodness and worthiness exactly as they are, no matter what.
2. Sleep patterns
3. Enjoyable movement
4. Leisure, hobbies and fun time (without screens)
5. Food - taking a family approach without policing foods
6. Limit screen time

I also share an excerpt from my 2017 interview with my friend and fellow author Leslie Schilling. You may know her best as the creator of the Born To Eat® approach and co-author of the award-winning book, Born To Eat. For context our kids were 3 and 4 at the time, and even then we dealt with issues around people policing their food. Our chat includes... where do you start with your kids in feeding and eating skills and how do you talk to them? And how do you set boundaries at school friends when you're concerned about hurting others feelings?

What if we all took a bold and brave step to eradicate diet culture? I think we can change the world. I hope you find this episode is helpful. If you have a question for me, please submit it here.

In this episode, parents speak out about why they would not use Kurbo Weight Watchers App to help their kids lose weight or or build "healthy lifestyles". Tune in to hear their heart wrenching stories of their own struggles with body shame and diets. Plus you'll hear me share what I found deeply concerning about the Kurbo when I used it for just a few days— and perhaps most important, I'll share inspiring insights for what you can do if you are a parent concerned about your kids health and weight.

Dieting is unethical. But how do you approach eating if you never want to diet again? By now you probably heard of intuitive eating, but do you see yourself eating intuitively and feeling happier about your relationship to food?

The co-creator of Intuitive Eating, Evelyn Tribole, MS, RD wants people to understand what intuitive eating is and is NOT. One big NOT… intuitive eating is not a diet or weight loss plan (though it has been co-opted as such "lose weight with intuitive eating!" (NOPE! Run far and fast from that if you see it advertised.)

On this podcast, we chat about how we use intuitive eating as a model for being the expert on your body when it comes to nourishment. We swap client stories of struggles and how we have helped them overcome their challenges. We dig into the research a bit to show the positive, life-enhancing benefits of ditching diets for intuitive eating.

We also touch on diet culture and body oppression, especially of fat bodies that get "concern trolled" so often by society…. "Oh, you really DO need to lose weight…. for health."

Nope. We believe intuitive eating is for everybody. Tune in and take action on your freedom from diets.

This episode originally aired on 3 April 2017.

I'm replaying a fan favorite episode of Body Kindness, with New York Times bestselling author Peggy Orenstein.

[Adult content & language] How do we teach our daughters to respect their bodies, while still being curious about their sexuality? What do you say to a 2 or 3 year old in the bath? Would you tell a 10-year-old what the clitoris is for?

If you're squirming in your chair, so am I, but this is important issue if we really want our kids to normalize sex. Body liberation and sexual liberation go hand in hand. Find out why Peggy Orenstein, bestselling author of Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape and Cinderella Ate My Daughter, thinks we all gotta start doing a whole lot more talking to our kids and teens about what's normal with our bodies and in sex for everyone's health and well-being.

I'm replaying a fan favorite (and one of my favorite episodes) of Body Kindness from one of my favorite teachers.

What if we all were fat activists? It's an interesting thought for people who are finally at the place of rejecting diets and a singular (thin) standard for beauty and health. Activism is not always getting angry and standing on the street with a sign screaming. Sometimes it IS that, but there are lots of forms of "activism" if you take a broader definition. You can throw a pool party and rock your swimwear. You can tell the nurse, "I don't step on the scale." You can tell yourself "I am on your side" and anyone who treats you badly based on weight can get the push back. Fat activism is just as much about practicing self-care and self-compassion as it is about getting angry.

Tune in to hear my conversation with long-time Fat Activist and author of Fat!So? Marilyn Wann joins me to discuss why it's wrong when people say "you should lose weight for health reasons". She shares ideas for fat activism that go beyond getting angry and protesting in the streets to include meaningful choices anyone can make to reject body oppression and instead, practice self-care.
