Summary: In this episode I'm interviewing the brilliant Sonya Renee Taylor. We're talking about body terrorism and "the systematic use of fear to control the way bodies look." The messaging of, "you are not good enough as you are." Radical self love work and... her favorite tools for radical self love (be in community & give yourself some grace). I'm also answering the question, “Hi Susan. I have a big family event coming up. Lots of people are going to be there, people I haven’t seen in a long time. I’ve gained a lot of weight in recent years and I definitely look different than I did the last time they saw me. I’m having a lot of anxiety about this event. I don’t want to deal with people looking at me, judging me, or asking questions… I feel like I have nothing to wear… I feel totally stressed about the whole thing. I wish I didn’t even have to go. I wish I could just stay home. How can I change my attitude about this? Because my attitude is really shitty right now.”
