64. Balancing Activism and Self-Care

<p>Today I’m back with a solo episode to discuss all things activism and self-care. In this podcast I discuss:</p> <ul> <li>How body obsession detracts from your passions and pursuits</li> <li>Historical women who have made lasting impact and the rhetoric around their legacy that helps to challenge self-worth and body image ideals</li> <li>How removing yourself from diet culture can be the greatest rebellious act</li> <li>Finding your why and using that to drive positive change within yourself and the world</li> <li>Balancing your activism with self-care practices</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>I’m keeping this episode short and sweet this week and suggest that you take the extra time to listen to some other podcasts that include BIPOC voices as I work towards bringing a more diverse guest list to this show:</p> <ul> <li>Check out <a href="https://bodytraumapod.com/">Body Trauma Pod</a> hosted by Nia Patterson <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/TheFriendINeverWanted/">@thefriendineverwanted</a></li> <li>Listen to <a href= "https://thefuckitdiet.com/chrissy-king/">Chrissy King on F*ck it Diet Podcast</a> where she talks about Shrinking vs Strength, and her <a href="https://linktr.ee/iamchrissyking">Anti-Racism crash course for Fitness and Wellness Professionals</a>.
