This episode is meant to serve as a bit of a primer for an upcoming guest episode that I recorded about books I'm recommending other than Health At Every Size. More on that in a bit. While this might feel like a no-brainer for some of my listeners, I know plenty of you are newer to some of the concepts I talk about around her. So let's lay the groundwork for why I'm reconsidering my use of the words "body positive". 

On this episode we talk about:

  • The original intentions behind "body positivity" and how that term is often misused and misunderstood.
  • Things that have NO business being in the same sentence and the words "body positive".
  • The problem with the misuse of this label and why I no longer want to be a part of that problem. 
  • What I actually believe in as a coach, labels aside. 
  • The deal with privilege and how it plays in to who we listen to when it comes to ideas like Health At Every Size, Intuitive Eating, body acceptance, etc.
