Episode 58: This Week's Digest

On This Week’s Digest, Catherine and Francis explore themes that were relatable from their conversation with Kristina Bruce, Certified Body Trust Provider. Francis reflected on how it is important for folx experiencing body image dissatisfaction to meet themselves where they are, and to take a more neutral approach towards their body image. He discusses how, for him, body image dissatisfaction was present before, during, and after his eating disorder experience. Catherine shares how her lived experience with body image dissatisfaction was different, and that during the throes of her eating disorder experience, the behaviors were more related to control than hating her body. Still, the co-hosts both recognize that recovery is made harder by external forces that contribute to the narrative that a certain body is “good”, “healthy”, or “ideal”. Every body is good. Health is individualized and is not an epidemic. And the ideal body image mentality is a scam aimed to profit off of individual’s low self-esteem. You are allowed to love the body you have. And if that feels like too much right now, you are allowed to take care — and be neutral towards — the body you have. Nourish it. Begin to respect it. Your happiness does not have to be tied to your physical appearance. In fact, life can feel more free when it’s not.

Episode 57, Part 2: Kristina Bruce shares her insights on how social media and cognitive reframing can help change body image perceptions

Part 2 of our conversation with Kristina Bruce, Certified body trust® Provider and Integrative Life Coach, is here and full of profound insight and hope. Kristina talks about how social media has become a space to fight back against the “diet culture spell”, as Kristina puts it, allowing people to connect and view bodies that look like theirs, have abilities like theirs, and detach themselves from the normative bodies often seen in typical media platforms. Finally, Kristina shares her wisdom for folx experiencing body image dissatisfaction and how to create space to perceive your body differently, and from a more neutral perspective, to create freedom and space for other parts of one’s life to thrive.

Thanks for listening, and we’ll be back on Wednesday for This Week’s Digest!
