Joy and Adam talk with advocate and author Kai Hibbard about living with chronic pain in eating disorder recovery. Off topic stories include Kai's time on Biggest Loser and moms (because, of course).
Why We Love Kai: Kai Hibbard is a licensed social worker, author of "Losing It", Co-Host of the “Losing It” podcast on Patreon, body acceptance activist, and motivational speaker. When not providing individual and couples therapy, or publicly combating mass media hypocrisy and body shaming, she uses her voice to give presentations promoting body positivity and to shed light on the issues close to her heart. Kai was first cast into the spotlight through her participation in, and subsequent denunciation of the weight loss game show The Biggest Loser. Going through the program, she realized the negative impact the show had, not only on her own life, but on society in general. Vowing to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, Kai has fought, often as the lone voice, against unrealistic and damaging messages in the media regarding our bodies in general. Over time that struggle has been featured in countless magazines and newscasts, both domestically and internationally, ranging from The Huffington Post, Time Magazine, Good Morning America, ABC News, CBS News, E!, Star Magazine, US Weekly, People, TMZ, The NY Times, The NY Post, Inside Edition, Redbook, Access Hollywood, FoxNews,The Globe, Jezebel, Huffington Post Live and Upworthy. On the Pod, We Discuss: Her relationship with food and her body growing up and her journey to winning Season 3 of The Biggest Loser How a 4th grade trip to Weight Watchers began a lifetime of yo-yo dieting The actual process of applying and being accepted on the show Where she was emotionally before starting and the immediate impact it had on her psychologically The stunning “reality” behind the scenes of the show and the entire bewildering experience How her people-pleasing tendencies played a role in her falling victim to the psychological pressures of the experience How our cultural fat phobia reinforced what she was being told by producers What is happening in our culture to allow a show like this to happen and to allow people to receive such abuse and vitriol online What Lizzo is bringing to the conversation and she’s so polarizing How the rebranding of the show and things like Weight Watchers are bullshit What the studies on the show have shown us, about it’s negative impact on not only the contestants but viewers and our culture at large How and why it’s even possible that this abomination is coming back And so much more Helpful Links: Kai’s Website Kai on Instagram Losing It: A Fictional Reimagining of My Time on Weight Loss Reality TV Losing It on Patreon St. Baldrick’s Fundraiser

Kai was first cast into the spotlight through her participation in, and subsequent denunciation of the weight loss game show The Biggest Loser. Going through the program, she realized the negative impact the show had, not only on her own life, but on society in general. Vowing to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, Kai has fought, often as the lone voice, against unrealistic and damaging message in the media regarding our bodies in general. Over time that struggle has been featured in countless magazines and newscasts, both domestically and internationally, ranging from The Huffington Post, Time Magazine, Good Morning America, ABC News, CBS News, E!, Star Magazine, US Weekly, People, TMZ, The NY Times, The NY Post, Inside Edition, Redbook, Access Hollywood, FoxNews,The Globe, Jezebel, Huffington Post Live and Upworthy, where Kai’s honest, straight forward approach to her own story never fails to shine through. Most of Kai’s time is spent juggling family and professional life. When not writing for publications like xoJane, working on her books, speaking, chiming in on body shaming as a contributor for CNN, being interviewed for various outlets or keeping people encouraged on social media, she is reading studies, finishing on her MSW at UNE, preparing new presentations, starting a new podcast, planning the opening of her private psychotherapy practice with telecounseling services, and plotting ways to keep her kiddo in bed at bedtime. In addition she is adjusting to life with chronic illnesses, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. She is also very tired. https://kaihibbard.com/about/ Studies Mentioned: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/27136388/ http://nsuworks.nova.edu/tqr/vol22/iss3/2/ Rate & Share Thank you for joining me this week on the Every Body podcast.

It’s Business, It’s Personal, It’s You Radio Show I’m over the top excited about my show this week. I’m talking to Kai Hibbard, season three contestant from the Controversial Hit TV Show “The Biggest Looser” about motivation. Kai got me all excited in her Huff Post interview with a killer sound byte: “Shame is not a motivator. It’s a paralytic.” So I reached out right away to set up this interview. We’re going to talk to Kai about her experience with judgment and shame and her journey into what appears to be a pretty terrific relationship with her self and her world. Tapping into my fascination with leadership that empowers rather than controls or diminishes I’m sure this will be an enlightening hour for all of us. Learn more about Kai by liking her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kai-Hibbard-of-The-Biggest-Loser-Season-3/114388032436 And if you’d like to share the message this fabulous T-shirt can help http://teespring.com/fubl. All the proceeds are going to www.about-face.org a site that is addressing media messages that affect self esteem and body image Also you can check out the resources Kai shared at the end of the show from fabulous women who question the message that you have to be thin to be happy, successful, active, or any other unrelated and arbitrary metric of success.
