“The way you talk to yourself becomes your inner dialogue and the way you talk to your kids becomes their inner dialogue. It’s time to reclaim what we say to ourselves and others about our bodies.” Bevin Branlandingham is the creator of the Fat Kid Dance party and has a message of self-love and compassion for all. “The more I lean into who I really am, the better my life gets. Caring for myself is a radical act in a world that wants me to be punished for my body size, for my gender, for my sexuality, for everything that makes me different. I had the audacity to live in myself and see my body where it was at.” Bevin’s Fat Kid Dance parties are aerobics classes that are open to anyone who believes that all bodies are good bodies. There’s only 4 rules to attend. Rule #1: There’s no wrong way to do a Fat Kid Dance Party. Rule #2: We will cheer you on for being awkward. Rule #3: If you want to sing along go ahead and if you can’t sing, sing loud. Rule #4: We high-five for self care. Everyone gets a high-five for showing up because showing up is the hardest part of working out. “If you are experiencing oppression, you are basically being told you’re not allowed to take up space. I really believe people experience oppressions like trauma. It’s a form of trauma to be constantly told that you are not enough.” “You are enough, you’re strong, you’re capable, you are smart, you don’t have anything to prove. Your body is perfectly fine just the way it is.” When thinking of her childhood Bevin said, “My value was inside myself the whole time.”   To learn more about Bevin: https://www.fatkiddanceparty.com/   Bevin on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/queerfatfemme/   Learn more about COUCH to ACTIVE here. www.couchtoactive.com   Get a copy of Lyn’s book on Amazon. www.amazon.com/author/lynlindbergh   Get the Minimum Exercise Recommendations here. https://www.couchtoactive.com/me

Season 6 premiere! Body-liberation activist and Fat Kid Dance Party founder Bevin Branlandingham joins us to discuss her journey from a difficult childhood to finding body liberation, the role of joyful movement in self-acceptance, what inspired her to leave a career in law to become a dance aerobics instructor, her ongoing practices of self-love and self-compassion, and so much more! Plus, Christy answers a listener question about how to know whether you’re meant for a career helping people with recovery. A childhood of bullying because of her weight kept Bevin off the dance floor. When she found body liberation activism, the idea that all bodies are worthy of love no matter what, it changed her life. She has​ been reclaiming dance floors ever since! Teaching, performing and writing about body liberation for over fifteen years, Bevin identifies as a thought leader in the body positive, body liberation, and fat acceptance movements.

Hello, from New Orleans! Hurricane Nate meant I was stuck in Louisiana for an extra day, but it also meant more time at SisterSong's "Let's Talk About Sex" conference. I share a little about what that conference brought up for me and then...it's your questions and my answers. You can see some of the videos from the conference at the show's Patreon page: patreon.com/sgrpodcast You can also see all of the permissions slips folks wrote in my workshop on Twitter if you look at my feed under #LTAS17. Horny Virgin needs help with navigating safer sex conversations when you're engaging in casual sex. How can HV have sex and feel safe? How do you talk about testing and barriers? And, how do you even have sex?  Ali wants to know if she kink-shamed a woman she hooked up with after this woman asked to be seriously injured during their sex without any kind of warning or conversation ahead of time. Masochism and consent are important. Not letting someone know you want them to break bones or skin before getting intimate is NOT consensual. Ash is a 29-year-old virgin who suffers from self-esteem issues because they're overweight and feel like a freak. What can they do to find some confidence, to find partners, especially when people ask them to lose weight? Is there any hope? I have so so much to say about this one. All the feels.
