Jes Baker is a positive, progressive, and magnificently irreverent force to be reckoned with who is internationally known for preaching the importance of body liberation, self-love, mental health, strong coffee, and even stronger language.

We Talk About:

• Somatic healing for trauma
• How we become disconnected from our bodies
• Feeling more embodied outside of traditional exercise
• Reclaiming movement outside of trauma and diet culture
• Prioritizing mental health (and how that supports our overall health)
• Body liberation
• Letting go - why diet culture wants us to fear it and why it gives us freedom
• Integrating body liberation into your lived experience
• Training your nervous system to heal
• Inheriting body image struggles from our families
• Forgiveness
• Vulnerability
• Being a better ally

Quotable:

the second I stopped trying to “LOVE” my body, the less I hated it
