Published: Nov. 3, 2021, 2:59 a.m.

Our bodies are constantly changing. How we feel about our bodies has changed over the years as well. A lot of us have a complicated relationship with our body right? A lot of our feelings about our bodies are probably unconscious, you may not even be aware of them. We start to embrace diet culture, become fatphobic or have low body confidence.

You may not realize it but Fatphobia is not just about challenging how society views fat people based upon their physical size and shape. It also looks at our fear of becoming fat and disliking ourselves in our own bodies.

\n

In this episode, we are chatting with Victoria Welsby about unlearning fatphobia and how it is impacting someone's self-esteem and authenticity. Victoria Welsby (they/them) is a world-leading expert on dismantling fatphobia and diet-culture, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author. They went from being homeless, abused with self-esteem that was achingly low into the courageous fat activist and change maker they are today.
