How to Leave Dietland, Pt. 2

In part two of our unladylike diet culture detox, Cristen and Caroline confront how body issues bond mothers and daughters and the subtle slimming messages we're fed by our families. They also uncover an historical bombshell about white feminism and dieting rules that weigh down the body positivity movement today.

Trigger warning: We discuss eating disorders and recovery in this episode. Briefly, the conversation describes in detail certain bulimic behaviors that accompanied our guest’s struggle.
