In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Jessamyn Stanley, a renowned yoga teacher, body positivity advocate, and author. We got deep - a topic on body positivity where we discussed the harmful effects of societal beauty standards on our mental and physical health. Throughout the conversation, Jessamyn shared her personal journey towards body acceptance and provided practical tips on how to cultivate a positive body image. We also talked about the intersectionality of body positivity and how it relates to race, gender, and other social factors. As someone who has struggled with body image issues in the past, this conversation was particularly meaningful to me. Jessamyn's insights and wisdom left me feeling empowered and inspired to love and accept my body just the way it is. I hope our listeners will feel the same way and take away some valuable lessons from this episode. People can call or text 9-8-8 FOR HELP.
