387-When Body Positivity Doesn’t Work
This episode discusses the nuances between body positivity and body satisfaction, highlighting the issue of conflating body image with true satisfaction and well-being. The conversation, led by Stephanie Dodier, a non-diet nutritionist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and cognitive behavioral coach, along with guest Brie Campos, a licensed mental health counselor, delves into the origins of the body positivity movement and its transformation over time. They critique the diet culture's co-opting of body positivity, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of body image and its impact on individuals' mental health and self-esteem. The discussion unpacks the misguided equating of health with thinness and challenges societal norms around body image, advocating for a shift from external motivations to intrinsic self-esteem and personal well-being. They propose self-esteem work detached from physical appearance as a solution to the limitations of the body positivity movement, focusing on empowerment, autonomy, and a broader perspective of health that encompasses mental, emotional, and psychological dimensions. What you'll learn listening to this episode: The true definition and origins of body positivity, and how it has been misinterpretedWhy body positivity alone is not an effective solution for healing our relationship with our bodiesThe importance of rebuilding self-esteem and redefining our worth beyond physical appearanceThe difference between "having to" and "wanting to" when it comes to self-care and wellnessThe understanding that body image work is a lifelong journey, requiring ongoing self-exploration and growth Mentioned in the show: Free Resources and Training Connect with our Guest: Website - Bri Campos Instagram - Bri Campos
