What do you think of the Body Positive Movement? I believe it's dwindling but there are those who still stand by it. Here's an episode I did regarding this movement. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/my-reality/message

Pop culture and widely accepted ideas about body size and shape have long been dominated by standards set by supermodels and pro athletes. But there's a growing movement based on dispelling the myth that one has to be thin to be healthy. Folks in the movement are working to break down the years of prejudice and anti-fat bias that has permeated our healthcare system and pop culture. Today we talk to medical professionals and folks in the fat positive community to debunk the myths of diet culture and learn about embracing your body at every size. But first, we check in with WPLN reporters on the ground at the state house to get the latest on Tennessee's special legislative session. Guests: Jess Thompson, owner of getFIT615 gym  Chelsey L. Medley, family nurse practitioner, specializing in the medical management of eating disorders  Kathryn McWaters, dietitian and nutritionist, director of marketing and partnerships at Nashville Nutrition Partners Kimmy Garris, founder, Fat Positive Nashville  Calvin Mitchell, CEO and founder, Fat Boy Basketball League  Saaneah Jamison, founder, Curvy Confidence Dance Further reading: Aubrey Gordon's Fat Reading List This episode was produced by Magnolia McKay.

In this episode, Courtney shares her struggles with her body image and how for a huge part or her life she felt shame, guilt and self blame. She talks about how she didn't fit society's standard of the ideal body type and that even after she lost weight and felt better aesthetically, much of her time was consumed with thoughts about how to keep the weight off. Courtney also talks about how when she started to work on her mindset around diet culture and body positivity things changed.Courtney McCarthy is the CEO & Founder of Loyobo FIT, a virtual community dedicated to helping women to ditch diet culture, find joy in movement, and to finally figure out how to love their body. Courtney's own journey with health and struggles around body image & weight loss inspired her to become an ACE Certified Fitness Professional. She learned the hard way how broken our views are towards women's bodies and how the formula the fitness industry presents as "the answer" keeps us stuck in a cycle of shame, guilt and self-blame. Her mission is to prove that there is another way, to help women step out of the struggle and into self-love! She teaches women how to ditch diet culture, how to heal their relationship with food and movement, and how to take the stress out of self-care. She wants you to see that you are MORE than a body and have the power to define health for yourself.Find Courtney's website hereFollow Courtney on InstagramFollow Candace on Instagram

Dr. Helana Darwin is an award-winning scholar of social inequality. Her research has spanned subject areas including craft beer culture, religious culture, the Body Positive Movement, and the gender binary system. Her forthcoming book Redoing Gender: How Nonbinary Gender Contributes to Social Change illuminates the everyday labor that gender nonbinary people perform in order to achieve social recognition. In keeping with the famous “doing gender” sociological model, Dr. Darwin analyzes these process at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and institutional levels, through in-depth interviews with 47 nonbinary people. Redoing Gender is available Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Dr. Darwin also recently completed her second book, intended for a general reading audience, called #MeTooPhD: A Trauma Memoir. She is currently searching for a literary agent and a press for this book, which highlights the intricate layers of interpersonal and institutional abuse that push victims of professor-student sexual abuse out of the academy.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and called yourself fat or ugly? Have you felt body shame because you didn't feel good in the body you are in? I've definitely been there. There were years that I felt like I wasn't thin enough or tried to hide out in baggy clothes. I would over-exercise because I thought if I exercised more than enough, it could make up for how I felt. I'm sure I'm not alone here as I say this out loud on the podcast for the first time. When I met Emily Nolan, a true body awareness advocate, I felt like I met someone that really understood. On today's show, Emily and I talked about • Her story with modeling and being every size to try to fit into the modeling world • How body-shaming can impact our self-concept and have very negative repercussions on how we show up in the world, and that also means how we show up at work and what our productivity looks like • What steps we can take to radically accept who we are right now at whatever size and look we are Here's a bit more about Emily: Emily Nolan is the host of Brave Talks, a podcast sharing radical honesty and self-acceptance. She's been recognized as one of the “Most Influential Thought Leaders in Wellness” by Mind Body Green (MBG), “Women to Watch: The Body Reformer,” by Ocean Drive, and one of the “Rockstar Yogis Leading the Body-Positive Movement,” also by MBG. Her work as a model at 16 sizes (0-16) and founding Topless Yoga, a bras-on bellies-out self-confidence event, has been recognized by hundreds of global leaders and media sources. Emily has presented in four countries to thousands of women, students, and athletes. A former model and Division 1 athlete who struggled deeply with disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and plastic surgery–breast implants, followed by full-body liposuction, and a breast explant–Emily regularly shares her story and message via her award-winning blog, EmilyNolan.com, and across multiple social media platforms, where she has over 250,000 combined followers.

I am thrilled to have Candace Molatore on the podcast today. I have followed Candace on Instagram for quite awhile now, and I have to say I'm obsessed! She is beautiful, with impeccable style, but more importantly- her words and writing speak to me so much. She's like that calm, nurturing and honest friend that you cling on to every word she says to learn and do better as a person yourself.     Candace Molatore is a Self-Love Advocate, Branding Consultant and Photographer based in Portland, OR. With a passion for building community, Candace uses her photography and writing skills to broadcast the message of self confidence, body positivity and inclusivity online. She shares her interests, inspiration, tips and everyday life with her audience regularly through social media. With a modest but strong following behind her, Candace continues to spread the message of inclusivity and self-love with high-quality visuals, a strong work ethic and a mission to make everyone feel empowered in their own skin.     Today's podcast sponsor is super special. When I approached Candace to come on the show, I mentioned a charity donation to support a cause that was important to Candace to say thank you for her time coming on the show. Candace also met my donation, and suggested that I share about the charity as the sponsor of the episode, and I thought it was such a brilliant suggestion!   So, today I am honored to tell you about the Jim Collins Foundation.    The mission of the Jim Collins Foundation is to provide financial assistance to transgender people for gender-affirming surgeries. The Jim Collins Foundation recognizes that not every transgender person needs or wants surgery to achieve a healthy transition. But for those who do, gender-affirming surgeries are an important step in their transition to being their true selves. However, access to gender-affirming surgery is impossible for most. Discrimination against transgender people is so prevalent that many transgender people struggle to survive, never mind save for surgery costs. Even for those who have health insurance, coverage is systematically denied. Many insurance policies contain a “Transsexual Exclusion Clause” which excludes all medical procedures related to a person's transgender status. For many transgender people, access to surgery is out of reach. The Jim Collins Foundation raises money to fund gender-affirming surgeries for those transgender people who need surgery to live a healthy life, but have no ability to pay for it themselves. We recognize that for those people who require surgery for a healthy gender transition, lack of access to surgery may result in hopelessness, depression, and sometimes, suicide. The Jim Collins Foundation is a community-based initiative promoting the self-determination and empowerment of all transgender people. Click here to learn more about the Jim Collins Foundation and donate.   In this episode we discuss:  Candace shares her story and life's journey leading her to the work she does today as a self love advocate, branding consultant and photographer What impacted Candace in the past with lack of self love and her tips for how she changed the narrative internally of her own self worth The origins of the body positive movement and how to respect its origins  How can we be more respectful to the challenges Black women face of feeling body positive and embracing wellness Candace's tips on using social media as a way to uplift ourselves, rather than compare and judge ourselves How we can as a collective whole be more inclusive to all body sizes How we vote with our money, and choosing brands that are inclusive to all body sizes How Candace built a wardrobe and style that fits her body and represents her personality How Candace practices wellness without obsession   Learn more: Candace's Instagram account Candace's website Candace on staying confident in swimwear Candace on tips for confidence Brand mentioned in the episode, Girlfriend Collective   Resources for you: Learn more about our services at Nourishing Minds Nutrition.

Decided to dive deep or riff rather.. on the way the #bodypositive movement might be contributing to the body shame.

This week Victoria & Ashley are wrapping up their discussion about the body positive movement including criticisms of the movement, the influence of TikTok, our perspective of the Kardashian photo drama and other celebrities impact plus what we can do moving forward. Whether or not you support the movement, there is a lot to take into consideration about what it means to not only celebrate all bodies in all different shapes/sizes but to also recognize that our bodies should not be used to determine our self worth or be considered the most important part of who we are.

This week Victoria & Ashley are breaking down how the body positive movement started, how it evolved and what it looks like today. Whether or not you support the movement, there is a lot to take into consideration about what it means to not only celebrate all bodies in all different shapes/sizes but to also recognize that our bodies should not be used to determine our self worth or be considered the most important part of who we are. We also dive into some criticisms of the movement & why body neutrality might be the best way forward. This episode covers so much information we're doing it in two parts... Part 2 will be out next week!

Body positivity summed up in short.

It feels like we are more accepting of different bodies on TV, online and in commercials - but what's the reality?

I used to believe that ALL fat people were fat because they had mental health issues. Is it true that when people experience trauma they consciously or unconsciously put on weight to protect themselves? Is being fat just a physical manifestation of something else that is going on that we need to fix? I answer these questions PLUS talk about age positivity in this week's episode.

On se sent souvent trop ronde ou pas assez pulpeuse, trop petite, trop grande, un nez trop long, trop large, les cuisses trop grosses, les jambes arquées ou un bidon trop proéminent... Bref souvent nous ne sommes pas satisfaite du corps que nous avons à disposition.  Pourtant certaines d'entre nous arrivent à trouver la sérénité dans l'acceptation... D'ailleur on parle beaucoup du mouvement body positiv créé en 1996 par Connie Sobczak et Elizabeth Scott, dont 'objectif est de lutter contre les diktats de l'apparence, avec le message clair qu'il faut aimer son corps tel qu'il est et l'idée que tous les corps sont valables. Mais est-ce vraiment si facile d'aimer son corps entièrement tout le temps ? Est-ce que les filles minces qui font un 36 / 38 ont vraiment des complexes? Et concrètement on fait comment pour apprendre à aimer son corps ? Je me suis assise autour de la table rose avec 3 femmes qui ont bien voulu partager leur expérience avec nous. 3 femmes, c'est 3 visions et 3 perceptions différentes du corps qui arrivent parfois à se rejoindre sur certains aspects. Un podcast en 2 parties où Sharon, Laura et Mayté m'ont  parlé du regard qu'elles portent sur leur corps ainsi que de celui porté sur elles par les autres. Régimes, complexes, troubles alimentaires, grossesse et dysmorphie ont également été évoqués. Des sujets qui reviendront d'ailleurs certainement dans des épisodes dédiés, tant il y a à dire dessus, et que nous n'avons pas eu le temps de les aborder en profondeur. Nous avons même eu un petit débat sur la nouvelle génération de femmes qui mettent leurs corps en scène. Débat bien entendu tout en bienveillance, car nous ne sommes pas des harpies! Finalement les filles partagent aussi avec nous quelques pistes pour arriver à se sentir mieux dans nos corps. J'espère que cet épisode vous plaira, et je vous souhaite une belle écoute!

In this episode, we discuss our thoughts on body acceptance as the Body Positive Movement has gained more steam over the last year or so. Does the size of your body truly denote your health status? Self-love & Self-acceptance could actually be necessary to achieve a healthier you, regardless of size, and creating healthy habits for YOUR body & life is a good thing! Health is not a destination, it's a journey.

In this episode Mal and Shekinah discuss how we truly feel about the body positive movement. They are both on their own separate health journeys and discuss why they are AGAINST the body positive movement. They give tips and suggestions for those who are trying to lose weight and get healthy in the new year.Luke Narwal's Youtube ChannelMichelle McDaniel's Youtube Channel: My Thoughts Will Probably Offend You Michelle McDaniel's Instagram: @michelle_mcdanielObese to Beast YouTube Channel: Obese to BeastObese to Beast's Instagram: @obese_to_beastDonate to Student For Life's Pregnant on Campus Baby Item: hereNext month's donation is to True Justice International.

In today's episode, we are chatting about our own personal insecurities, loving ourselves, and how we’ve worked towards loving our bodies just the way they are. (FYI it's always a work in progress, sometimes we love our bodies, sometimes we don't.) Accepting ourselves as we are is always a tug of war, but we’re here to tell you that society’s idea of beautiful shouldn’t be #GOALS.Keep up with the #FemmeTeaParty @Femme_Tea& Your Hosts;Kat @hereskatBibi @bibilovesradyGeri @gerardineperaltaReferences:https://www.huffpost.com/entry/foster-healthy-body-image-child_l_5c86b4a8e4b0d936162add28

Unpopular opinion: body "positivity" isn't actually all that positive. In this episode, Jayme and Sara are discussing some of their first memories of comparing their bodies to others, their thoughts on the body 'positive' movement, and opening up about their relationships with body image (with, as always, lots of laughs and stories shared along the way). Make sure you're following along with the pod on Instagram @nothingjusteverythingpod!

The body positivity movement has been extremely important in combatting our country's fatphobia and teaching us all to love our bodies just as they are. Kelsey Miller, founder of "The Anti-Diet Project," is this week's guest and joins us to explain “How Whiteness Killed the Body Positive Movement.” Miller shares her learning journey about white privilege and intersectionality and she says the body positivity movement must heed the work and labor of Black fat positive activists in order to keep the movement growing. We also chat with Elijah Li, founder of SOULE magazine and the SOULE Foundation about why it's important for Black LGBTQ+ folks to see reflections of themselves in a world that is both anti-Black and anti-queer.

These show notes are not only the place where I summarize the conversation on the podcast, but also where I attempt to be as authentic and honest as possible about the conversation; why I wanted to explore it or how it relates to my life or what I learned from it.  And, I have to...

I’m seeing a lot of posts lately in some of the “intuitive eating” and "body positive" social media groups that I follow. Let’s clear the air about the "performative" bullshit body positivity movement as it relates to intentional weight loss. There are a lot of messages out there that are downright irresponsible and stupid. I have ranted about this before in episode 37 - The Body Positive Movement is Bullshit + What Self Love Really Means.Its time to do that again because these so called gurus are causing tons of confusion and are promoting some downright dangerous ideas. I want to set the record straight that I firmly believe in not waiting for the weight but also loving yourself enough to know when physical weight loss is necessary.

Hello, my love buckets, and welcome to a brand new episode.   We have reached 25 episodes, and I would like to thank you all for supporting Beauty Unlocked since the beginning.   We've talked about the Body Positive Movement, Saggy boobs matter movement, and the Love Your Lines campaign, but have you heard of body neutrality? Body positivity transformed from a radical idea to a movement, and with that came some incredible strides for acceptance. But, for some, body positivity can lead to outcomes that are the opposite of its intended effect: There's an argument that the overly commercialized version of the movement can also lead to more, sometimes accidental, body scrutiny.  Cue Body Neutrality.   Tune in as we break down what body neutrality is, the mental health perks of adopting this mindset, and how to practice body neutrality.  Articles Referenced: https://www.bustle.com/p/what-is-body-neutrality-the-growing-movement-teaches-that-you-dont-have-to-love-your-body-all-of-the-time-16439881 https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jul/23/the-rise-of-the-body-neutrality-movement-if-youre-fat-you-dont-have-to-hate-yourself https://www.huffpost.com/entry/what-is-body-neutrality_ I know you want to spread some of that good ole' fashion love!

Explaining the necessity of The Body-Positive Movement, to men.

I am thrilled to have Candace Molatore on the podcast today. I have followed Candace on Instagram for quite awhile now, and I have to say I’m obsessed! She is beautiful, with impeccable style, but more importantly- her words and writing speak to me so much. She’s like that calm, nurturing and honest friend that you cling on to every word she says to learn and do better as a person yourself.   Candace Molatore is a Self-Love Advocate, Branding Consultant and Photographer based in Portland, OR. With a passion for building community, Candace uses her photography and writing skills to broadcast the message of self confidence, body positivity and inclusivity online. She shares her interests, inspiration, tips and everyday life with her audience regularly through social media. With a modest but strong following behind her, Candace continues to spread the message of inclusivity and self-love with high-quality visuals, a strong work ethic and a mission to make everyone feel empowered in their own skin.   Today’s podcast sponsor is super special. When I approached Candace to come on the show, I mentioned a charity donation to support a cause that was important to Candace to say thank you for her time coming on the show. Candace also met my donation, and suggested that I share about the charity as the sponsor of the episode, and I thought it was such a brilliant suggestion!   So, today I am honored to tell you about the Jim Collins Foundation.    The mission of the Jim Collins Foundation is to provide financial assistance to transgender people for gender-affirming surgeries. The Jim Collins Foundation recognizes that not every transgender person needs or wants surgery to achieve a healthy transition. But for those who do, gender-affirming surgeries are an important step in their transition to being their true selves. However, access to gender-affirming surgery is impossible for most. Discrimination against transgender people is so prevalent that many transgender people struggle to survive, never mind save for surgery costs. Even for those who have health insurance, coverage is systematically denied. Many insurance policies contain a “Transsexual Exclusion Clause” which excludes all medical procedures related to a person’s transgender status. For many transgender people, access to surgery is out of reach. The Jim Collins Foundation raises money to fund gender-affirming surgeries for those transgender people who need surgery to live a healthy life, but have no ability to pay for it themselves. We recognize that for those people who require surgery for a healthy gender transition, lack of access to surgery may result in hopelessness, depression, and sometimes, suicide. The Jim Collins Foundation is a community-based initiative promoting the self-determination and empowerment of all transgender people. Click here to learn more about the Jim Collins Foundation and donate.   In this episode we discuss:  Candace shares her story and life’s journey leading her to the work she does today as a self love advocate, branding consultant and photographer What impacted Candace in the past with lack of self love and her tips for how she changed the narrative internally of her own self worth The origins of the body positive movement and how to respect its origins  How can we be more respectful to the challenges Black women face of feeling body positive and embracing wellness Candace’s tips on using social media as a way to uplift ourselves, rather than compare and judge ourselves How we can as a collective whole be more inclusive to all body sizes How we vote with our money, and choosing brands that are inclusive to all body sizes How Candace built a wardrobe and style that fits her body and represents her personality How Candace practices wellness without obsession   Learn more: Candace’s Instagram account Candace’s website Candace on staying confident in swimwear Candace on tips for confidence Brand mentioned in the episode, Girlfriend Collective   Click here to get your hands on my new free mini course, the Summer Reset!   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE WAITLIST FOR THE NEXT ENROLLMENT OF PERMISSION STAGE PLAYBOOK.    Resources for you: Learn more about our services at Nourishing Minds Nutrition.

I am so excited to welcome Annette Richmond to the Peach, Please! Podcast! A self-proclaimed Fat Girl, Annette is a staunch supporter of the Body Positive Movement. Traveling is her latest obsession and she has visited 19 countries in the last three years and doesn’t plan on stopping (except for a minor setback called COVID-19). After seeing a lack of diversity and inclusivity in travel marketing and media she created Fat Girls Traveling. The Instagram profile grew into a community of over 19K that has transformed into a movement and made Annette a voice for Fat Travelers. She is also the Editor of Fat Girls Guide, the official blog for Fat Girls Traveling, and a contributor at Ravishly.

The live show airs every Tuesday at 5pm pst. Join us: jennybruso.com/podcast Our debut episode features, Tasheon Chillous! Tasheon is a plus-size Personal Trainer and Coach located in Tacoma, Washington. The lack of diversity in the fitness industry pushed her to pursue movement as a career instead of a hobby. She believes that movement does not have to be about changing a number on the scale or measurements and instead practices a HAES (Health At Every Size) and size-inclusive approach. She loves creating programs for people who want to improve their strength and confidence with functional and intuitive movement. In 2019, she created BOPOMO, a Body Positive Movement class specifically for plus-size, fat-identified, people of color and queer folks of all abilities to find joy and empowerment through movement. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she began offering classes online. Tasheon is also a self-described Unlikely Hiker. She didn't really understand why people would climb mountains until 2017 when her brother died and hiking became a way to process her grief.

Listen in as Carrie Foltz-Gray, founder of Knox Buti Tribe and head goddess at Renegade Yoga Center in Knoxville, TN, tells us about the life changing practice of Buti Yoga, a non-traditional form of yoga helping women get out of their heads and into their bodies. Curious what Buti Yoga is? Buti is yoga combined with plyometrics, strengthening, tribal dance and flow. Carrie describes it as a safe place for “magic to happen” as women express themselves, honor their bodies, feel supported, and learn to love themselves. Buti, specifically related to the sacral chakra, is all about feeling sexy, moving your hips, listening to fun music and energetically cleansing the body. We conclude with discussing the Body Positive Movement and how Buti helps many women discover their self-worth, while learning to love their bodies as they currently are. Buti is all about falling in love with yourself and Carrie sets a beautiful example for us to see the life changing effects that are possible through Buti Yoga and body positivity.   Connect with Carrie online in the following places:             Instagram: @carrie_from_the_underworld @renegadeyogacenter #knoxbutitribe             Facebook: Carrie Foltz-Gray, KNOX BUTI TRIBE, Renegade Yoga Center             Renegade Yoga Center website: renegadeyogacenter.live   We want to hear from you!

But, that's not what this episode is really about. It's about what self-love really means when it comes to the weight loss journey. I'm breaking down what self love looks like, what it doesn't look like, and how the body positive movement is dangerous and tainting the real message we all need to hear. I am not a follower.

This topic really fires me up. Lately, I have been seeing a lot of ugliness on Instagram regarding the body positive movement promoting obesity. Most of this I have noticed is coming from us in the health and wellness industry, the same industry that should be helping people live better (physically and mentally). In this episode, we talk about a study that seems to have potentially started this thought process. More importantly, I discuss the need for this body positive moment and why we need to mind our own g**d*** business.Link to study and articles referenced:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/oby.22204http://www.uea.ac.uk/about/-/normalisation-of-plus-size-risks-hidden-danger-of-obesity-study-findshttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind-your-body/201806/is-body-positivity-really-contributing-obesity

In this episode, Heather addresses the issues and truth about the body positive movement. Being an RN, formerly practicing in the ER, Heather gives examples of patients who were suffering from heart disease and health issues. The idea that you can be healthy at any weight is false. Belly and abdominal fat severely increases health risks decreases your life span, but it does not mean that you are morally wrong. For Heather, it's not about looking good in a bikini, it's about prolonging your life and being healthy. Life is precious. Take action and practice self love by healing your unhealthy lifestyle.

We speak to Diana about how she struggled to find a sports bra after she had a mastectomy. She asks why women aren’t encouraged to love their bodies after they’ve had a mastectomy, and what fashion brands could do to make women like her feel more empowered. Everyone’s experience is unique to them. This podcast contains the personal story and experience of the speaker, rather than that of Breast Cancer Care.

Introduction – Amber Karnes and Body Positive Yoga   2:40 Consent, Agency, Body Sovereignty                 Consent: There is culture around touch in yoga. Many people don’t want to be touched. Only uses touch in cases of safety or to point out certain things the student may not understand. How to ensure a consent mindset is to set a focus that the student and teacher are working together but student controls what the body does. Touch is not optional; students are the experts concerning their bodies. Each pose is an enquiry about your own body and you have agency about what your body will do. Models of Consent: must an enthusiastic yes, consent cards, students understand what adjustment means and how it might be done, students have the right during any part of class to refuse touch.  Amber is interested in any other techniques from the listeners about how they handle consent. 14:20 Agency – Amber has practiced yoga in a fat body for 15 years. Originally, she couldn’t find a teacher to modify her poses to accommodate her body. She had to create her own practice to make it work for the body she had. Loved the benefits of yoga so she figured out a lot on her own. Large-bodied individuals, disabled students need modifications. Not here to fix someone or someone’s body, we are offering tools to empower students to do yoga. We need to learn how to teach others since we were trained to teach other yoga teachers in our teacher training. If the student leaves with a successful experience, then they will probably return. 22:10 Tips for studio owners, teachers to make the space inclusive. Is it physically accessible for people disabled or elderly or injured? Is it financially accessible? Do you offer scholarship opportunities or subsidised rates? Letting others who can afford to pay above the rate to help those who cannot pay.  Do you have diverse teachers? Are students going to see someone like them?  What kind of photographs do you use in your marketing? Yoga language or? What is the purpose of the Asana? Can you duplicate that purpose with modifications, props or other asanas if the first asana is not appropriate? 30:45 How did yoga help Amber make peace with her body? Recommended by her physical trainer to do yoga on the off days since it would burn calories but wasn’t considered exercise. Went to her first class and she was the only bigger bodied person. She attended the class and left when it was over and noticed that the negative self-talk started which meant that at some period before it had stopped. She felt so good afterwards that she returned to class. Yoga made a huge difference in her emotional state. Found a teacher who could help. She had been fighting against her body, but yoga gave her the tools to partner with her body and accept her body. 38:38 Body Positive Movement – get to a place of acceptance and peace with the body. Free of emotional energy  in not fighting the boy. Yoga is the best tool for self-regulation.   Contacts: Website: www.bodypositiveyoga.com Insta: AmberKarnesOfficial FB: bodypositiveyoga Resources: Yoga for All Teacher Training – 35 hours online at www.yogaforalltraining.com www.accessibletraining.com 3 day in person training in several places around the world.    

In this episode, Lenora Houseworth talks about her work as a social media strategist, Dare Me Beautiful-a body positive movement for women of color, and the self-care rituals that keep her sane.

Background Body Positivity may seem to be a modern movement as the hashtags and Instagram ready photos and images threaten to take over your feeds on a daily basis. The fight for the freedom to love our bodies is older than the internet - going back as long as we have had our bodies. As long as there have been human beings coexisting in groups of 2 or more people there have been ongoing struggles and battles to decide the "best" way or "right way" to be. Historically the battles were not always about the same things. Our ideas of what the perfect body has changed over time. In earlier days it was about the body type that was most likely to survive being run down by a saber-toothed tiger - lean and fast or strong and bulky. In areas where food was scarce, it was a display of wealth or success to have a body that was plump. Long ago in China, it was a symbol of wealth and status to be able to maintain a woman whose feet were bound. In Japan, foot binding was also a practice, specifically for dancers and courtesans. What this means is - the ideal body, the idea of beauty, of body perfection is simply that - a picture. It is not a firm thing, written in stone. It is an ever-changing image - fluid with the times. Today's ideal bodies are described in many terms, including: Gender Identity Race Age Ability Size Hair color Ideal body types are perpetuated by the media, by our stories, by the books we read and by the nature of our lives. Around the world, there are vast ranges of what ideal bodies or beauty is defined as. https://gizmodo.com/photoshop-reveals-how-different-countries-see-body-imag-1724498667 Body Positivity versus Body Liberation There are two semi-parallel, semi opposing movements that can be designated under the body positive movement. Monkey and Miss Laura discuss these two movements in the first Monday Mumbling of August (this aired on August 6 - so check it out). The first is the Body Positive Movement. The second is the Body Liberation Movement. http://queerfatfemme.com/2016/08/29/body-liberation-activism-in-five/ A Brief History I am honestly not sure that anyone could create an accurate timeline of the different cultures globally, and their movement towards body positivity, body liberation, or body acceptance. We absolutely welcome anyone's input on actions that we have missed here. There have been many instances in history where things were done to create and attain an ideal body - that was later determined to be damaging to people in a physical or health or wellbeing manner - or that simply changed for other reasons. We are going to select just a few instances: Feudal Japan Foot Binding - https://heianjapanweb.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/blog-post-title/ This practice started in and around 1000 AD and continued through around 1750 AD. Foot binding originated in the tenth or eleventh century by dancers and courtesans. This was a practice where a young girl's feet were tightly wrapped. This usually caused the bones to break, thus causing extreme pain. There are many aspects to foot binding that relate or go back to social influence. Foot binding was first found to be generally accepted among the elite families. However, later this practice became more common and known throughout society. Mothers started the force this painful...

In this episode, Jill discusses a recent Instagram post by a fitness expert and influencer describing her feeling that "the body positive movement is problematic". The post mixed some interesting points of conversation with misunderstanding and a hefty dose of assumption. Jill explains why this (fairly common) type of confusing discourse - filled with inaccuracy and stigmatizing rhetoric - misrepresents the body positive movement and what Health At Every Size is all about.

Can you see the divinity within everyone? In today's episode I discuss the changing face of beauty, what beauty is to different people and how the body positive movement is changing our views and helping create greater self-love. I am...

It's Monday, and it's also a holiday in the U.S., and that's got me musing about bodyweight and career success.  What is a successful weight?  Tooo often it has very little to do with health.  Even worse, weight discrimination starts with being less than 15 pounds overweight for women according to BMI.  As a fitness studio owner and food writer, I know that we need to be aware of forces that may be driving us to diet and exercise, especailly if those forces are pushing us into unhealthy behaviors and lowered self esteem. Finally, Catherine shares her three steps to clarify your weight goals in a positive way.  Catherine's eating plan can be found at:  sugarfreedom.com Her fitness studio website is:   gordonstudiosonora.com
