How To Stop Body Shaming Yourself Ft. Katie Sturino
Listen now
Description
Aleen and Sami are joined once again by Katie Sturino, influencer and author of the new book Body Talk. They react to last week’s lackluster Super Bowl halftime show (why can’t a woman get away with just standing around like that?) which leads to a conversation about the way people talk about celebs like Adele and Rebel Wilson losing weight. They talk about Blake Lively publicly praising Katie for calling out fashion brands for not being size inclusive enough. She explains why brands actually won’t make a bigger size (it’s not because it would be too expensive) and how “the only way in is thin” mentality still pervades the fashion industry. They discuss the representation of thinness on TV (we’re looking at you Emily In Paris) and how women are stuck in a constant cycle of devoting brain space to losing weight. Then they dive into Katie’s new book, including what it says about how to stop judging yourself for your own body and the way your clothing fits. Is it time to stop calling clothes “flattering” on your body? Finally, they finish things out with a conversation about how your taste in clothes is often dictated by outside forces, not what actually inspires you.
