In this episode Jessi discusses how there is a seemingly counterintuitive relationship between Body Neutrality and positivity. Being present in moments that are challenging, such as anxiety, and allowing one's self to be at peace with that reality can actually lead to positive outcomes. If you're forcing the "positivity" there's a greater chance to lose out on that goal.

Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dgrRFaBYO

In this episode Jessi discusses the Body Neutrality process and how that circles around the idea of returning to a natural state. A state that disarms any additional interpretation of your body and how it moves and exists in the world. Body neutrality isn't anything extra; it's all the extras stripped away, and this can be a long and difficult journey.

In this episode Jessi talks about how upsetting it can be to gain weight...but not for the reasons that you think. Outside of weight stigma and fatphobia, weight gain can bring about all kinds of valid feelings/emotions/distress and this week will be an exploration of them.

Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dgrRFaBYO

In this episode Jessi discusses the difficulties of being able to receive compliments from partners/friends/or others in their lives, when the recipient is unable to connect internally to what's being said. This is most often just the person sharing their opinion, but can be received as very threatening and can leave the recipient confused or upset. It doesn't matter how many times you hear "you're so hot", if you're unable to connect to that statement it will prevent that reassurance from getting through. This episode provides some tools for both parties to better navigate this phenomenon.

In this episode Jessi responds to a listener question about how obesity does or doesn't contribute to negative health outcomes or a general health crisis in our country. There is an abundance of conflicting information that you can come across, a lot of it very official sounding, so this episode aims to disambiguate some of causation from correlation.
