Ableism, social entrepreneurship, and first-gen struggles — all things Taiwanese-American disability advocate Tiffany Yu discusses with Cate on this week’s episode. They discuss social isolation for disabled folks, self-worth and actualization, embracing imperfect advocacy, and why we should “usualize” rather than “normalize.”

Filipino eating disorder recovery advocate Jan Pleje joins Cate on the first episode of season two to discuss disordered eating culture in the Philippines, body shaming, balancing activism and academics as a high school student, and how he's combatting barriers to eating disorder recovery and treatment in his community. 

Cate’s former swim coach Dana Monsees, a certified Dietician, Nutritionist, and Body-Image Coach, speaks on Generation Body Positive this week to discuss Whole30, mainstream body positivity, weight-inclusive care, and health accessibility.
