A little treat for you on this blustery Friday—an extra snippet from our first episode with the brilliant Megan Crabbe. Our conversation was so great we couldn’t fit it all into the main podcast, so here’s the part you didn’t hear.Megan was one of the original trailblazers of the Body Positivity movement—calling out diet culture long before it became a trend. In this bonus clip, we talk about how she found herself at the forefront of that shift, and she shares more about her personal journey with queerness.I adore Megan. I could listen to her speak forever—hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
