#143: Reclaiming Fat Revisited – Interview With Chrystal Bougon

I’m revisiting my interview with Chrystal Bougon – Owner & Resident Curvy Girl at Curvy Girl Inc and activist. We chat about feeling sexy at every size, reclaiming the word fat and the importance of sexual pleasure as self-care, plus I answer a listener question on fat oppression and eating disorder recovery. In this episode, we chat about: - I answer a listener question fat oppression and eating disorder recovery, - What loving your body means to Chrystal,  - The spark that fired her up to start Curvy Girl Lingerie, - Why she identifies as a fat woman and the importance of reclaiming that word, - The importance of asking for what you want in the bedroom and how this empowered Chrystal to be kinder and truer to herself, - The power of asking for what you want in the bedroom and life, - Your life is happening now, not 10 pounds from now – don’t put it on hold, - Why it’s a discipline to work on your inner confidence and compassion, - Why both Chrystal and I still have bad body days and how we deal with those, - Her motto “Sexy is for every body!” and how you can embody sexiness, - How she responds to people who say she is “glorifying obesity,” - The way fat people are portrayed in the media and how this perpetuates size stigma, Plus so much more!
