Can you believe it's already episode 4 of this new season?! This week, Ali and Hannah are thrilled to sit down with @thatfatdoctor the fabulous Dr. Katelyn Baker, a renowned clinical psychologist who's an expert in self-esteem, eating disorders, and LGBTQ+ issues. Dr. Katelyn is here to spill the tea on the harmful ways society teaches plus sized kids to eat and how those ridiculous expectations set the stage for eating disorders to take over. She gets real about her own experiences and professional insights on ‘atypical’ anorexia, how weight stigma messes with our romantic relationships, learning the language of self-love, and so much more! What is atypical anorexia? Is weight discrimination in the workplace really that big of a problem? How do I practice self-love when I'm afraid of what people will think of me? Tune in as Ali, Hannah, and Dr. Katelyn kickstart your journey to unlearning all the crap diet culture has fed us about plus-sized bodies. Get ready to embrace self-love and celebrate the stunning person you are!
