#58: Fat Phobia In Medical Diagnoses, Righteous Anger, and Reparenting Ourselves with Kelsie Jepsen, Fat Activist and Body Acceptance Coach

This episode with Kelsie covers so much that it was difficult to give it a title! Above all, it is a conversation between friends, and just allows for the winding of an authentic and connected chat. 

Topics we discuss:

• We can't keep our plants alive
• What's been on Kelsie’s plate since we chatted last (Episode #14)
• Her experience directing a play and addressing representation and inclusion with bodies
• Unpacking fat-phobia with your therapist
• Experiencing a lot of anger while healing your body image and divesting from diet culture and other systems of oppression
• Setting boundaries with loved ones about fat-phobic comments and diet talk
• Trauma and seeing old photos
• Reparenting ourselves and thinking about our younger self
• Ableism and body acceptance
• Navigating the doctor’s office and medical weight-stigma
