Episode 624: Radical Self-Love and Body Empowerment with Sonya Renee Taylor


Listen Later

We’re rebroadcasting one of our standout episodes this week featuring the incredible Sonya Renee Taylor. We dive into the transformative power of radical self-love and body empowerment, and how these principles can drive global change. Sonya is an author, poet, spoken word artist, speaker, humanitarian, social justice activist, educator, and the founder of The Body is Not An Apology. 

While self-love can sometimes seem like a simple, feel-good concept in the personal development world, Sonya reminds us that "Nothing grows without discomfort." Radical self-love challenges our beliefs and systems, pushing us toward real transformation. This episode is a powerful exploration of how embracing radical self-love can reshape our perspectives and impact the world. I’m thrilled to bring back this enlightening conversation with Sonya Renee Taylor. Enjoy the episode!

You’ll hear:

  • Sonya’s journey and how she became a recognized change agent (6:06)
  • The role of radical self-love and body empowerment in social justice and global transformation (8:11)
  • Insights into body shaming, overcoming it, and spreading body empowerment (15:40)
  • The body positivity movement: where it started, why Sonya thinks it’s a “nice white lady,” and ways in which it can be harmful (24:25)
