040 | Jessamyn Stanley: Love Thy Ass + Wellness Gone Mad

The first time I heard Jessamyn Stanley speak in 2019, I immediately felt like I could trust this woman to hold it dowwwwwwn when it came to representing some of my most important beliefs, no matter who was or wasn't in the room.   She’s an award-winning yoga instructor and intersectional activist with a heavy PASSION for diversity + inclusion in the self-care space.   There’s so much laughter and memorable dialogue in this episode about why yoga in the west was initially more embraced by white folks, why in her words "self-hatred is such a boring distraction," advice for those uncomfortable with the word 'fat' and hella more.    I hope you enjoy this convo as much as I did.   Per usual, I’m very thankful for your support!
