When was the last time you gave yourself permission to just exist? Not shrink, not apologize, not mold yourself into what somebody else needs—but to simply take up space?Dr. David Johns sits down with trailblazer Tess Holliday—one of the world's most recognized plus-size models, the first of her size to be signed to a major agency, and creator of the viral "Eff Your Beauty Standards" campaign. Today's conversation centers on her latest work: Take Up Space, Y'All: Your Bold and Bright Guide to Self-Love, co-written with Kelly Coon.While marketed as a guide for teens navigating social media, body image, and toxic friendships, this book is essential reading for anyone who has ever felt they needed to make themselves smaller. Tess brings her full self—as a mom raising a 20-year-old and a 9-year-old, as someone who grew up in rural Mississippi without the resources she desperately needed, and as a woman who has spent over a decade breaking barriers in the modeling industry. From discussing mutual aid and community care to naming joy as resistance, this conversation reminds us that in a world telling you to shrink, taking up space is the most radical thing you can do.SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES:Purchase the Book:Take Up Space, Y'All: Your Bold and Bright Guide to Self-Love by Tess Holliday and Kelly CoonAvailable at independent bookstores nationwideFind your local bookstore: bookshop.orgLearn More:"Eff Your Beauty Standards" campaign: Search #EffYourBeautyStandards on social media platformsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

En este episodio comentamos la segunda edición del desfile de Victoria's Secret. Debatimos sobre la evolución de la marca y nos preguntamos si su regreso supone una "nueva era". También, hablamos sobre el retroceso que ha habido en las pasarelas de moda este año, en cuanto a diversidad, con datos alarmantes. Por último, hablamos sobre el nuevo lanzamiento de Skims que se ha viralizado en redes; braguitas con pelo sintético y comentamos el nombramiento de Maria Grazia Chiuri como directora creativa de Fendi.

Nos últimos anos, entre memes e filtros, estamos vivendo uma era em que nossos corpos passaram a ser registrados, compartilhados e exibidos sem pausa.Acompanhamos movimentos que mudaram a forma como nos olhamos: o body positive, trazendo acolhimento e orgulho do que antes era visto como imperfeição; e o body neutrality, propondo uma relação mais livre e sem obrigação de performance com a autoimagem. Mas, como numa fita rebobinada, a cultura da magreza volta a ocupar o centro da cena — levantando novas questões sobre os corpos em movimento na era digital.Neste episódio, o papo é sobre bem-estar, a imagem e o corpo.Esta temporada de Chapadinhas de Endorfina.doc tem patrocínio de Itaú Uniclass, e é sobre se apaixonar pelo o que seu corpo é capaz de fazer, pela endorfina que ele libera e pela liberdade que ele proporciona.

Le “body positive”, ce mouvement qui prône l'acceptation et la reconnaissance de tous les corps, vit un déclin en 2025, notamment dans les défilés de mode. Le body positive est devenu populaire grâce aux réseaux sociaux. Il illustre le fait que les standards de corps féminins véhiculés par l'industrie de la mode ou sur les réseaux sociaux ne sont pas forcément fidèles à la réalité, et à la majorité des corps. Malgré les critiques que l'on peut adresser au mouvement, il a permis à de nombreuses personnes de se sentir mieux dans leur peau et de se décomplexer face aux injonctions esthétiques. Comment ce mouvement est-il apparu ? Pourquoi est-ce déjà la fin du “body positive” ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant, vous savez".

En este episodio, Fernanda Alvarado, la Dra. Julia Salinas y el reconocido psiquiatra Rafa López se sientan a una mesa redonda para desmenuzar un tema que está en boca de todos: la compleja intersección entre la obesidad, el auge de medicamentos como Ozempic y el movimiento Body Positive. Inspirados por el polémico especial de South Park "The End of Obesity", exploramos cómo la percepción del cuerpo se ha convertido en un indicador de estatus social. ¿Es Ozempic la solución mágica para la obesidad, o es un privilegio de unos pocos? ¿Qué sucede cuando el mensaje original de autoaceptación del Body Positive se distorsiona, negando la evidencia médica y afirmando que "un cuerpo obeso es un cuerpo sano"? Analizamos el papel de las redes sociales y las marcas en esta tergiversación, la errónea idea de que un cambio externo resolverá problemas internos, y cómo la autoaceptación se construye día a día en un mundo que constantemente nos juzga. Un debate profundo sobre la salud, la imagen corporal, la industria farmacéutica y el impacto psicológico de estas tendencias. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Si te gustó el video, ¡suscríbete y recomienda el canal!

Author and modern masculinity advocate Kelvin Davis joins us to explore the difference between being a “nice guy” and being a good man. Drawing from his upcoming book, Kelvin shares seven transformative principles—from setting boundaries to self-respect—that challenge performative niceness and promote authentic integrity. We dive into how social media often rewards superficial validation over sincere action, and why honest communication matters more than ever. Kelvin reflects on his inspiring journey—from a childhood dream sparked by a JCPenney ad to founding Notoriously Dapper, overcoming body-shaming, and building a modeling career rooted in body positivity and self-worth. He opens up about personal growth through therapy, quitting alcohol, and reevaluating relationships during the pandemic. This candid conversation highlights the power of self-reflection, discipline, and internal validation. Whether you're navigating modern relationships or redefining your role as a man, this episode offers grounded insight into becoming the kind of man who leads with honesty, respect, and purpose.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:01) - Masculinity and Being a Good Man(0:11:20) - Journey to Being a Good Man(0:21:06) - Navigating Boundaries and Personal Growth(0:30:22) - Internal Validation and Gratitude Practice(0:43:43) - Honesty, Trust, and Growth(0:47:30) - Navigating Vulnerability and Personal Growth(0:59:53) - Navigating Overwhelm and Internal Dialogue(1:04:10) - Navigating Respect and Self-AssertionSend us a text

Truth is our own internal wisdom that defines who we are. Finding our own truth means figuring out the difference between what we've been told we should be, verses who we really are.

Expressing ourselves is a way to live our truth in our bodies, minds and souls. Many times we've been taught that to express our feelings, to put up boundaries, to be honest, and to just allow ourselves to be ourselves it might be upsetting to others.

If you know the word divine means holy or sacred, then you have a clue to the meaning of divinity, which can be a god or other religious being. Anything very holy is full of divinity. Divinity is also the subject of religion itself: divinity students are studying theology. But if you're not into religion, don't worry — you can still enjoy divinity, a type of white, creamy fudge made with egg whites that probably goes well with angel food cake.The definition above was something I could totally get behind. I  found it by googling divinity on the website, “vocabulary.com.” Loved it. Especially because there are other god-like-angelic things that are divine could also taste good…like…Yummmmmy white creamy fudge and Angel food cake. Yes please. When I was able to recover from my addictions, my disorders and my need to control everything frigging thing in my life, but also let go of the idea that being divine was something outside myself, I was able to truly step into who I really was.  What I learned was all parts of me and every thing else in the universe was already divine. We all are body, mind and spirit. We may forget that fact but there it is. No matter who, what or where we are on our journey we are the essence of love, acceptance, peace and joy. Of course we can choose to deny our divinity and go towards a much darker place but we will never really be happy or successful because it's not our true self. As I've been writing about some of the profound things my brother and I talked about as he lay dying was the idea of grace and being pure love as a much easier way to live our lives. One night as I sat with him we talked about how hard our childhood had been. We'd been abused, abandoned, and hurt by the grown ups in our lives. And the pain of it was, for no other reason, than it was probably the way they had been treated by their caretakers. So it was generational, and we eventually we had the power to stop that cycle of suffering ourselves as did they, even though they did not. So the discussion was why? My brother said with tears rolling down his cheeks,” It was so easy to do the right thing. Much much easier than the hard thing which is the wrong thing.”Now I have to say he said this as he was dying of Alzheimer's, as he had not eaten in days and as he was so very sick. If this is not the definition of being in the divine, of experiencing divinity, of being in the state of grace, I don't have any idea what would be. My takeaway is we all have a choice. To realize all parts of us are divine because we are pure divinity just by existing. Or, of course, we can step aside our true nature and force ourselves to not be divine. But where's the fun in that? No where. That's where. Here is a wonderful article and obituary about my wonderful brother Keith St Clare from Cynthia Laird of the Bay Area Reporter Newspaper. So grateful to the LBGT community for their support and dedication to the truth. Kelsy Keenan, NDTRDirector of Outreach, Nutrition CounselorWilla Wellness CenterDirect: 707-755-1174Office: 707-780-5323Fax: 707-780-5322 ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Father Cooper sits down with model and content creator, @remibader. Remi got her start on TikTok posting realistic clothing hauls and her platform has since expanded beyond fashion.

Remi opens up about how she really feels towards the ‘influencers' who decided participating in a low rent influencer horsey ride was more important than siding with their friend.

Over wine, Remi dishes on her best dating stories and shares how one night of sex led to thousands of dollars in water damage.
