Episode notes

The idea of the body as not an apology came from a conversation with a friend who was afraid she might have an unintended pregnancy. "I think sexuality is one of those places where that's really reflective for us, can be if we want to look at it," says poet and sexual health educator Lina Werts. The way we perform our desire and sexuality and the freedom and the fear of that freedom are all in there.

Following Glennon’s diagnosis, she, Abby, and Amanda go deep with Sonya Renee Taylor - author of The Body is Not an Apology – exploring the personal and global promise of Radical Self Love:

1. Examining the way we talk to our bodies – and how to change negative self-dialogue.

2. How to shift from a relationship with our body based on dominance and control to a relationship based on trust.

3. The pitfalls of “body positivity.”

4. Recognizing this global moment we are in as a gift inviting us to collective Self Love.

5. The full life that is possible only if we stop believing our body is our enemy, and start seeing our body as a teammate.
