Your body is your home & regarding it as separate, problematic or disgusting can result in a type of detachment that interferes with your ability to hear its valuable messages to you. You need your body. You inhabit it for this lifetime & we believe body trust is your birthright.

Learning from fat liberationists may be uncomfortable and if you're diving deeply will be uncomfortable. Be mindful of the desire to cherry pick their knowledge & experience when it feels unpalatable & 'unrealistic' for business & professional relationships. Lean into discomfort.

I'm rarely on twitter, but as I've had a lot of thoughts recently it seems like the place for that. I'm also seeing the benefit of not having to write a long ass caption for instagram 😂
