CONTENT NOTE: In this episode I will speak about medical abuse. In this episode, we’re going to challenge that inner critic narrative. After I shared on IG about a doctor’s appointment in which we saw a significant increase in my health values after making only 2 changes: reducing the stress in my life, and knowing that at my appointment we wouldn’t talk about my weight. Even though this was a huge win for me, I found myself in a panic attack. My body had been ready for a fight that didn’t happen because of the years of medical trauma that I’ve experienced. When we experience trauma, we essentially experience it twice: in the body, then in the brain. Our logical mind can convince us that we’re not in that same danger anymore, but the body still remembers. In this episode, I’ll walk you through some of the process that I went through with my EDMR therapist to heal some of the wounds I’ve held for so long.

In this IGTV Live turned episode, Bri answers her followers' questions about how to handle body changes. In a society where we're constantly told that our changing bodies are bad, how do we begin to rebuild body trust? How do we manage when we find ourselves unlovable? And how do we cope with the reactions of family members and friends who've noticed our changing bodies? She answers important questions like what can we do right now to feel better in the bodies we have? And the big question, who profits off of the thought that there's something wrong with our bodies in the first place? Statistic stated in the episode that health is only made up by 30% of what we eat and how we move is from Lindo Bacon's Body Respect: https://lindobacon.com/body-respect-book/ Others mentioned this episode: Natalie Peikoff - @kneadtotalk, www.fullbloomcounseling.com Seerut Chawla - @seerutkchawla For more ways to work with Bri, check out her offers on https://linktr.ee/bodyimagewithbri or on her website: https://www.bodyimagewithbri.com.

In today's episode, I interview Susanne Johnson, a Family Nurse Practitioner who prioritizes health equity and strives to eliminate health disparities due to social position, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, education, ability, or body size. We discuss our own experiences with weight stigma, how she works on health with her clients as well as challenges she faces. Follow her on instagram @seesuzgo!

In this episode, we continue to navigate the nuances of body image and how we begin to make peace with our body.  Peace with our body starts with connection; it may not be comfortable at first. But it will be worth it.
