Summary

In this episode, Mary is joined by Dr. Lindo Bacon who discusses finding their true self to gain a better sense of belonging and creating a safe space for others to feel fully accepted as they are. Dr. Bacon also talks about what it means to challenge ideas around social identities. In this episode, you will learn about: How everything we’re taught in mainstream culture with regards to our bodies and image is predicated on a lie, not science. Owning our personal stories and finding out what makes us unique. How to open up to other people’s uniqueness. Cultivate radical belonging in our day to day lives. and so much more! Dr. Lindo Bacon’s mission is to create a more just world, where all bodies are valued, respected, and supported. Best known for their paradigm-shifting research and advocacy upending the weight discourse, Bacon’s inspiring message takes us beyond size, to shaping a culture of empathy, equity and true belonging. Dr. Bacon has mined their deep academic proficiency, wide-ranging clinical expertise and own personal experience to write two best-selling books, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, and the co-authored Body Respect: What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, or Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight. Both are credited with transforming the weight discourse and inspiring the course of the body positivity movement. Bacon’s next manifesto, Radical Belonging: How to Survive and Thrive in an Unjust World (while Transforming it For the Better), will be released by BenBella Books in November 10th, 2020, and Bacon is currently spreading this message through public speaking. You can find Dr. Lindo Bacon on Facebook or Twitter: LindoBaconX or on Instagram @Lindobacon. Or you can find Lindo on their website www.lindobacon.com.

0:00.0	Welcome to Tea Time with Mary. I'm your host, Mary Jolkowski. I'm a former bikini fitness model turned self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:21.6	Hey friends, before we begin, I just wanted to let you know that this podcast episode is
0:26.1	sponsored by my favorite books. Not literally, but I did create a book list for you with all
0:33.3	of my favorite books for self-love and body image and self-confidence and just overall self-healing and
0:40.7	growth. I am a huge personal growth person and to be honest with you, a lot of the things that I talk
0:46.9	about come from the books that I've read. I'm a big reader and I always tell my little sister,
