In this episode, they chat about:

• what embodiment truly means beyond the buzzword, and how Domini personally defines it.

• the feeling of having a spirit "too big" for the body and how inhibition, conditioning, and permission influence that experience.

• the role of agency, pacing, and self-permission in expanding into your full embodied self.

• learning to separate internal truth from external narratives and recognizing the voices that shape your self-perception.

• using visualization, meditation, and humorous reframing to distinguish "your stuff" from the world's projections.

• practical somatic tools—touch, dry scrubbing, body tapping, proprioceptive practices, resistance, weight training—to reconnect to physical presence.

• how resistance and collision help the nervous system understand where you are in space and build strength, agency, and embodiment.

• the parallels between somatic therapy and talk therapy, and how the nervous system integrates emotional and physical information.

• transforming old emotional patterns by thanking them, validating their purpose, and releasing them.

• simple grounding prompts—"What do I see? What do I feel? What do I hear?"—to bring yourself back into your body in real time.

• how the body operates as a guide and teacher, and why attunement is key to embodiment.

Show Notes:

In this episode—recorded live during the Do It Fat book-launch event—Sara brings together a beautiful circle of friends and early beta readers: Charith Denson, Christy Anderson, Kendra Sanchez, and Liz Brinkman.

The conversation is heartfelt and emotional as they share their first reactions to the manuscript, reflect on triggering moments, and unpack the messages that resonated most deeply with them. Together, Sara and her beta readers explore themes of body image, societal expectations, language reclamation, and personal growth, weaving in thoughtful critiques and vulnerable personal anecdotes.

They dive into the importance of redefining the words we use around body size, the transformative impact of reading the book, and the power of fully embodying self-acceptance. The episode closes with a hopeful lens on how readers can integrate these lessons into their own lives—and inspire others to do the same.

This episode is part of our Do It Fat Mini-Series, a special collection of conversations leading up to the launch of Sara's debut book, Do It Fat. Join us each week as we unpack the stories, research, and reflections behind the movement — all about body acceptance, self-worth, and taking up space unapologetically.
