Radical Existence

Jenn is reflecting on the past year and what she's learned and where Radical Existence is going. Email: radicalexistence@gmail.com to receive your FREE workshop and Natalie's Recipes

www.radicalexistence.com on Instagram and Facebook @Radicalexistence Natalie and Jenn discuss the depth of the idea of being on and off track. It's so easy to "fall off track" and then we compensate by over-doing it and adding tons of things to get back on. In this episode, we explore what all of this means and what's under the surface of this black and white, on and off again behavior.

www.radicalexistence.com - Instagram & Facebook @radicalexistence Jenn and Natalie discuss Anti-fat bias and the early roots of the desire to be thin. Inspired by the work of Sabrina Strings and her book "Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia" and Aubrey Gordon author of "What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat" we bring this important discussion to our Radical Existence listeners. We ask you to listen with an open mind and begin to follow these two women into a more accepting and inclusive way of being. To continue the discussion and offer your point of view, head over to www.radicalexistence.com. We want to know your thoughts!

In what ways do you fit out? Want to fit out? Need to fit out? Or find it challenging to be doing so? Join the conversation at www.radicalexistence.com or on social media FB/Insta @radicalexistence The opposite of fitting in is fitting out. It's not always easy to stand alone in your truth, but when you have clarity on your core values and a conviction with your actions - your radical beliefs offer you a strength that makes the lonely journey easier.

This is a short and sweet kernel of wisdom from Jenn where she discusses a new way to look at living a balanced life. Join the conversation at www.radicalexistence.com Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @radicalexistence

What is your relationship to social media? Do you love it? Hate it? Love to hate it? Spread love or hate on it? We discuss the positives and the negatives of social media. We think this topic is one that a lot of us have on our minds. There's no right or wrong answer, but attention must be paid to the way that we use social media and making sure our social media use aligns with our values and the vision for our life and well-being.

Thanks to Laura McKowen for the inspiration for the first part of this title. "It's not your fault, it is your responsibility" is something we borrowed from her work. This episode is designed to help you see that your failings in conquering a diet plan or addictive behaviors are not your fault. We list 5 reasons why that vary from the design of the body to skeletons in your closet. We also hope to inspire you to take action and control over the things you can and we encourage you to be intentional with your actions and your money to support businesses you believe in and stop supporting the ones you don't. To join the conversation head over to www.radicalexistence.com where you can sign up for our newsletter and be the first to know about our community launch in September.

This episode is for personal contemplation. What does healthy look like? Do you tend to judge a person's health by certain physical markers rather than their substance? I want to challenge the common narrative that healthy looks a specific way and broaden the definition of health to include more than just looks and biomarkers.

Sign up for our community: www.radicalexistence.com https://www.instagram.com/radicalexistence/ https://www.facebook.com/RadicalExistence In this episode, we skim the surface of our experience with diet culture - particularly restrictive fad diets that drew us away from health and into the realm of disordered eating.

This episode is the unveiling of our online community, Radical Existence. www.radicalexistence.com radicalexistence@gmail.com We cover the four pillars of our community: cooking together, moving together, breathing together, and being together. We've coined the term "chill-wellness" as what we offer at Radical Existence. We no longer subscribe to fad diets and "looking the part" when it comes to health. We're learning to look for the answers within first, followed by simple and science-backed advice for how to keep our bodies, minds, and spirits thriving.

In this episode, my best friend Natalie and I talk about the Radical Read Untamed by author and activist Glennon Doyle This work has been described as soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is a story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There she is. https://www.amazon.com/Untamed-Glennon-Doyle-Melton/dp/1984801252 Please follow these Radical Black Women who are educating white women how to show up as allies for black and brown people Thea Monyee: @TheaMonyee and Ebony Janice @ebonyjanice Follow me on Instagram @radicalexistence, on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RadicalExistence Or on my website at https://radicalexistence.com/
