Episode notes

When you talk about radical self love, you're listening to Little Sonya who just want really ceaseless, he just wants a hoagie and for you to go home. But here's the thing that immediately just came to me was inside of the Christian tradition. If the body doesn't matter, if it's not an essential part of our understanding of our value and magnificence in the world, otherwise the sacrifice of Christ means nothing in the physical. We know that's not true. We just let people tell us a different story and that story makes us pliable. It makes us wonderful consumers and robots in service of these systems of oppression and injustice.

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.
