Summary

This week I explore the topics of diet culture, body image, and intersectional feminism with guest, Summer Innanen. Summer is a professionally trained coach specializing in body image, self-worth, and confidence. She is the best-selling author of Body Image Remix and creator of You, On Fire – the online group coaching program dedicated to helping people get free from body shame and live life on their own terms. She is also the host of Eat The Rules, a podcast dedicated to anti-dieting, body image, and intersectional feminism. Personally, I succumbed to diet culture for decades and have been going through a process of unlearning all of the internalized messages that never served me. Extricating oneself from diet culture is a unique journey for every woman. To echo Summer’s words, “Acceptance is not a destination, it’s an ongoing practice of meeting yourself where you are at and where you need to be.” In this episode you’ll hear: A brief definition of diet culture and what it revolves around (various layers of oppression). (8:24) For women, worrying about body image is a universal condition and is rooted in internalized misogyny. (12:10) Summer talks about how the way to feel better in your body isn’t about “liking the way you look” and how this can make it harder for us to accept ourselves. (14:14) The importance of knowing the truth about weight science. (23:04) Summer’s response to the assumption that if you accept your body, you're "giving up" and not going to "take care of yourself". (25:27) We can reject diet culture and go on to do amazing things. (32:40) "Tools of avoidance," dieting and fixating on our bodies. (36:00) How diet culture is related to patriarchy and white supremacy. (48:09) http://andreaowen.com/387 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
