The Body Protest is a podcast hoping to uncover the hidden journey of the relationship you have with yourself. Exploring the individual obstacles that makes everyone’s journey of self-love complicated and occasionally treacherous, we hope to unify people with the common understanding that the struggle to love ones self, is very real. We hope to explore themes of race, toxic masculinity, eating disorders and general pressures put on us by the media and how these factors altered the journeys of individual guests. With Nadia Craddock, Body Image Researcher, and Honey Ross, plus sized writer and activist - we combine the wonderful duo of scientific facts and research with a more emotional lens, to provide a well-rounded and informative look at the very personal, and often commodified journey of self-love PRODUCED BY THE PINK PROTEST See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
