Join me as I get to chat with Nicole McDermid (@theembodiedjourney). We dig deep, got uncomfortable, felt all the feels and spoke about privilege, social justice, feminism, fat activism, eating disorder recovery, & our work being intersectional. In this episode we talk about feminism, and in turn, empowerment, particularly as women in today’s world. We deep dive into aspects such as building agency, reclaiming autonomy, developing a connection with your body, body liberation, respect for your body and to stand unapologetically in your power.

This week my guest is Nicole McDermid, social worker, eating disorder survivor, awesome person, and unapologetically living in a larger body. We met at the Australian & New Zealand Association for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) conference in Sydney a few weeks ago, and immediately bonded. In this episode we chat about weight bias in the eating disorders treatment community. You'd think that of all places, an eating disorders conference would be a safe place for people of all shapes and sizes, with an absence of weight focus. But the reality is the opposite! The worst part of the conference was the inclusion of Obesity Inc - literally, people who want to erase fat people entirely - and the apparent trend of firstly, treating people in larger bodies for eating disorders, and then promptly putting them straight back on a diet. What the hell?
