This week we're talking about body image. Why do we feel so dissatisfied with our bodies and how can we live in the body we have and feel connected to it instead of judging it?
We discuss how body dissatisfaction affects our day-to-day lives and where the idea comes from that we should be thinner or change parts of ourselves to fit society's view of "ideal".
Discussions in this episode include:
Fatphobia/weight bias/fat oppression
