  • Unlearning with Ida Paras: Love Your Body, Ignore Your Judgy Titas

    As a country, we are obsessed with how our bodies and other people's bodies look. "Hello's" have been replaced with "tumaba ka," and no one talks about how rude it is.


    We dread going to family reunions or meeting people we haven't seen in a long time. At the back of our minds, we worry that they'll comment on your weight either to your face or behind your back.

    Together with Ida Paras, we discuss body shaming in the Philippines and how that may have affected our mentality about body image and weight growing up.

    We also talk about the obsession people have with fitness and the journeys we've had to loving our bodies. 

    Ida Paras has been in the fitness industry for more than 6 years, and she's coached hundreds of women into loving their bodies through sustainable fitness. She's also the brains behind The Movement Studio, which offers group classes with the perfect blend of cardio and strength.

    About Unlearning

    From the publisher's feed

    We spend the first years of our lives constantly learning, whether we're at school or at home. As we get older, it is just as important to unlearn — to truly discover and listen to your own individual voice that breaks free from what your parents have taught you, what school has taught you and what society expects from you.
