#166 - Why We Need to Brave Body Shame in 2021 with Julie Sweeney

You aren't born feeling body shame. It's decided for you,
conditioned in you, and you become entangled. Dominant culture’s
body ideals can keep you ensnared in your own self-loathing. But
what if you want out? Make a pivot and CONNECT to your body, even
if you wish it was different. Braving body shame is leaning into
your burdens with empathy and compassion, saying "it's OK, I'm
here... I want to care for you."


My guest Julie Sweeney discusses the virtual conference Braving
Body Shame where people share their body stories.
