September 28, 2020 Rachel Estapa: Founder of More to Love Yoga on Yoga for Larger Bodies, Wellness in 2020, and Recovering from COVID
Hi everyone! It was such a joy to have this conversation with Rachel Estapa - the founder of More to Love Yoga. Not only is Rachel a fellow Bostonian, but I felt many similarities between our stories and backgrounds which were discussed during our conversation. In this episode Rachel talks about how she discovered Yoga, the story behind the name "More to Love" yoga (which is probably not what you're expecting!), different tactics she uses to help her when she's going through a difficult time, and she even shared about her experience having COVID-19 during the beginning of the pandemic back in March.

July 10, 2020 How I learned to see my body differently
In this week’s episode, I took a topic from my friend Beckie who asked if I could share more about the process I went through to being able to see my body differently which ultimately helped me be able to accept and love myself unconditionally. As I was reflecting on the topic, there were a few moments over the last ~10 years that came to mind when I thought about powerful moments that changed my thinking or gave me a different perspective. In this episode I talk about those stories and share some tips if you are someone who could use some guidance on how to start seeing something differently. Content warning: EDs, disordered eating. I also mention the “Tell me I’m Fat” episode of This American Life which you can listen to here: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/589/tell-me-im-fat. You can follow me on Instagram at @kgyasi and follow the podcast at @itsoktoloveyourself. Stay tuned for another episode next Friday!

July 03, 2020 Timothy Bowen on finding the right therapist, mental health, dating, and the power of community.
Tim Bowen and I met 7 years ago when we worked together at HubSpot. We became friends and work spouses and have continued to stay friends despite no longer working together. In this episode, Tim and I talk about our own experiences in therapy, dating, and community. Tim’s own journey with therapy and his personal transformation process deeply inspired me to invest in myself and seek outside support. I can’t wait for you all to hear his story!

June 29, 2020 Black Lives Matter: Radical self love & the Racist Roots of Fatphobia & Diet Culture
In this solo episode, Katherine reflects on what it means to be anti-racist and expresses the values and ideals she strives to uphold via this podcast. The concept of Radical Self Love as learned from Sonya Renee Taylor is explored as well as a small piece of the history of why fatness has been demonized in America, especially in Black women as learned through Sabrina Strings’ book “Fearing the Fat Body”. If you have any feedback on this episode, please reach out. I consider this to be the beginning of a never ending conversation and my daily work to fight against systems of oppression in our world.

May 10, 2020 Introducing it’s OK to love yourself, my journey to self love and self acceptance
The idea for It’s OK to love yourself has been kicking around my brain for the past year and I’m finally doing the damn thing. I have always learned so much and felt less alone in my own struggles when hearing others share their stories openly with the world. I will be interviewing a series of guests to share their own stories in the hopes that some of you may feel less alone, too. In this episode, I discuss growing up fat and how that led to years of dieting and weight cycling including an almost year long stint on Keto. Eventually I learned that the problem was never my body, it was my mind and I have been on a quest ever since to unlearn years of negative self-talk and limiting beliefs.
