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 Connect with Jes On her website: http://www.themilitantbaker.com/ On her instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themilitantbaker/ Read her books: Landwhale https://amzn.to/3cH8vul Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls https://amzn.to/333bMQk   Episode Sponsor - Pyknic My favorite Pyknic picks: “Death Before Decaf” Crew Neck https://pyknic.com/collections/women/products/death-before-decaf-coffee-crewneck “Glazed and Confused” Crew Neck https://pyknic.com/collections/women/products/glazed-confused-crew “Morning Glory” Button-Down https://pyknic.com/collections/women/products/morning-glory-womens-button-up-top “Morning Ritual” Tank https://pyknic.com/collections/women/products/morning-ritual-coffee-womens-muscle-tee use code chasingjoy for 20% off your entire order!
