In this episode, we zero in on body comparison. Liv and Tiffany share about beginning to compare our bodies to others as very young girls. We explore how our culture is hyper-focused on bodies, how it begins to appear early in life how it’s harmful, and what we can do about it. We ask: -How many times a day do you check your body in the mirror and then adjusting your clothes, and try to make yourself look smaller? -What does your Facebook and Instagram feed look like? Do you see only small bodies? -How often are we body-bashing ourselves or listening to others comment on people’s bodies? We dive into this awesome article by Abby Langer, R.D. in Self. It explains in depth why even complimenting people on weight loss is harmful. https://www.self.com/story/we-really-need-to-stop-complimenting-people-on-weight-loss?utm_sq=g5hbx3uhyc&fbclid=IwAR3l0xEklfweb4GFbnI8mR9SxvHKoQgbITbxsItFYbMK554oX-xvpx8QZGw We also look at this fantastic article by Fat Girl Flow on why our body (and our health) is nobody’s business but our own. https://fatgirlflow.com/afraid-youre-going-to-die-fat/ We are not JUST a body. We ring the bell for Lindsay Kite of Beauty Redefined/ Check out her great TED talk about being more than just a body: https://youtu.be/uDowwh0EU4w Tiffany talks about her passion for helping women that know their value and worth is not related to how their body looks or what they weigh. Tiffany’s Womanifesto: https://www.coachtiffanyrn.com/womanifesto.html We dive into one of our favorite Principles of Intuitive Eating — Respect your body. • Acceptance • Gratitude • Self-care • No longer commenting on bodies • Fighting fatphobia, starting within! We ring a bell for Michelle Elman at #scarrednotscared. We encourage you to read her post “Fat is not a Feeling”: https://www.instagram.com/tv/BxaiuTRBmI0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_lin We also share more about the Health at Every Size components: Respect Celebrates body diversity Honors differences in size, age, race, ethnicity, gender, dis/ability, sexual orientation, religion, class, and other human attributes Critical Awareness Challenges scientific and cultural assumptions Values body knowledge and lived experiences Compassionate Self-Care Finding the joy in moving one’s body and being physically active Encourages eating in a flexible and attuned manner that values pleasure and honors internal cues of hunger, satiety, and appetite, while respecting the social conditions that frame eating options Check out the Health at Every Size website here: https://haescommunity.com/ We invite you to subscribe to our podcast, and tell us the ways in which you’re breaking free in our free Facebook community: Breaking Free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/breakingfreecommunity. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/breakingfreerecovery/message

Lean the F*ck Out | Fempreneurs | Women Entrepreneurs | Female Business Owners
In this episode we talk with fempreneur Corissa Enneking, founder of fatgirlflow.com. Corissa was fucking sick of working in an office, so she just went ahead and did something about it. She started a blog with the plan to lean out and in just six months she left her day job to run Fat Girl Flow full time. Today, Corissa is managing a business model focused on building a community, running affiliate marketing, and selling merchandise that is all about body positivity and plus size fashion. She is simply killing it and taking back terms that have been brought her community down.
