Description:

“There’s an adrenaline rush that comes with denying the common rules of society: that I should always be trying to lose weight, that I should always be unhappy with some flaw. To say I am perfectly content with my body and all the parts that assemble it is nothing less than radical.” ― Virgie Tovar

Today’s guest is Virgie Tovar, author, activist and one of the nation’s leading experts and lecturers on fat discrimination and body image.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why the world needs radical girl scouts (and where to find them)
  • How to remember the joy your body brought you before Diet Culture crept in
  • Why grief is important in diet recovery
  • Just how confusing is the rhetoric around health and fatness?

And more!
