Hi Creative Cutie! The holidays...They're often a time that can trigger old wounds of all sorts. Definitely not the least of which, are wounds around our bodies and body image. I wanted to reshare this episode with you to help you gain some awareness and tools to heal your relationship to your body and gain Body Neutrality. More info below. I love you and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate!Original Description:TW: Eating Disorders and Body image.Today’s guest is Jessi Kneeland. They are a queer and non-binary writer, speaker, podcaster and body image coach. Jessi started off as a physical trainer-- working with everyone from celebrities to supermodels and they found something interesting -no matter the body type, their clients always thought their bodies were not enough. This led Jessi to dig into their own body image, traumas and past to finally discover what helped them start their healing journey, which is something they call, Body Neutrality. As someone who has long suffered with a bevy of body image issues including eating disorders, disordered eating and just generally never feeling Like I have the “right” body…I can honestly say I find Jessi's work revolutionary and healing in such a deep way, it’s hard to really put into words. Between their book Body Neutral, which comes out this June (and I highly recommend you pre-order now) and this conversation, I feel like I’m finally on a path to do some deep healing and rewiring in this area. I hope this chat will do the same for you.From today’s chat, you’ll learn:What exactly body neutrality isHow to stop self-objectifyingHow to build up self-advocacy and become your own protectorHow to get to the bottom of your body storyHow to distinguish body positivity from body neutralityWhat happens to your creativity when you take the focus off of how you lookOrder Jessi’s book here: https://www.jessikneeland.com/product-page/sustainable-movement-a-body-neutral-guide-to-health-fitness 🎙️ Connect:Remember to subscribe/follow the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
