Podcast 156: BODY TALK - Helping Young Adults Explore Their Radical Anatomy with Kelly JensenIn today’s episode I talk with Kelly Jensen about her new book for young adults called Body Talk, which covers the themes of ability and disability, body positivity, fat positivity, tattoos, language, and much more.

Tune in for essay readings and a nuanced conversation about intentions vs. impact of the body positivity movement today and where we may be doing more harm than good.

Here’s a few items we cover:

  • how yoga has helped her and her yoga students with mental health, self compassion, and non-judgment.
  • Themes and helpful lessons on body politics from her latest book Body Talk, and how to use this book as a parent of a 12+ person.
  • Patricia Elzie’s essay on the problematic nature of policing people’s feelings in the body positivity movement.
  • Questions about where we may do more harm than good when it comes to helping people practice self-acceptance.
  • Why we need to listen to people with lived experience at multiple intersections about what they’re seeing from those of us who hold multiple privileges.
