Podcast 29: The Intersection of Bridal Culture and Diet CultureGetting married? Don’t let diet culture ruin your wedding experience. Writer and bride-to-be, Kelsey Miller, refuses to fall into the body shame trap and she wants to help you too.

Kelsey’s story in Glamour magazine about finding size 14 and higher bridal gowns showcases the ups and downs of finding your perfect dress in a larger body. In this lively conversation, Kelsey shares some of the injustices that exist in bridal culture, especially how brides in larger bodies experience systematic oppression.

We discuss the parallels between diet culture and bridal culture, including the weight loss and fitness industries that profit off all of our insecurities. Plus we talk about her awesome book Big Girl and the 67% project by Refinery 29.

Listen here to Episode 29 here:
