fat shaming

After a year and a half, I FINALLY brought on the myth, the legend, my mother,  Cindy Cheney! We cover a lot of ground in this week's in-between, from getting to know my mother and our relationship,  some pretty sound parenting advice, if I say so myself, and next year being our Butterfly Year. Momma Cindy has always represented what's good in the world, and I believe I wouldn't be doing this career if it weren't for her. 

In this week's episode: 

• Get to meet my mom and better understand our relationship
• What it was like growing up with a single, handicap mother
• The core pillars that defined her parenting, and her advice to other parents, soon-to-be parents, and the "one day" parents (trust me, I turned out pretty good, so she must have something right)
• What's a butterfly year and why 2024 is ours
• My mom's big time physical transformation
• Tapping into your light 
• Reflecting on 2023 and what's to come 

This episode is very special to me, as I am so lucky that I have a mother who supports me in this wild adventure. I hope you enjoy getting to know a little more about me and my biggest rock throughout every single one of life's in-betweens.

Tonight Brendan and Richard talk about things, but as I write this description I don't really remember what we talked about, Brendan probably made fun of his people again (fat people), because when you see yourself in someone, you see all things you don't like and then you make fun of them. Asides from or perhaps because of that we hope you enjoy the episode and if you don't we can provide a small refund for a large fee *.

*Note: that was a joke, please don't try to pay us a large fee for a small refund, it doesn't make any sense, that's why it's a joke, also podcasts are generally free so a refund would be nothing, absolutely nothing. If you are still reading this you should probably go an do something more productive with your time. There are much better things to read like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short stories, just a suggestion, they are really good generally speaking.

Recorded on September 22, 2023.

Thank you so much for listening and/or watching (on YouTube).

Ronald Young, Jr’s takeaways
These are the takeaways from the end of the episode. For more takeaways from all of our guests, subscribe to the Sound Judgment newsletter and visit our blog. 

1. Learn to draw upon rhythm and music to improve your delivery on the mic. Ronald grew up with the musicality of the storytelling and the singing he heard in church, and that turned him into a storyteller who is enchanting to listen to. But we can all do this by feeling the rhythm and cadence of language: Where are the beats? Where are the breaths? It’s not just storyboarding that makes great stories; it’s how we deliver our stories. 
2. Don’t censor yourself. At the beginning of the scripting process, Ronald’s story editor, Sarah Deeley, had him write down all the ideas he had for each episode. Only then did they narrow those ideas down into a structured narrative. 
3. Build stories in layers. Think about context: what does the listener need to know, right now, to understand this episode? To tell a story about his college girlfriend, Ronald had to first explain some stuff about his childhood. What context do you need to offer to make your story land?

Improve your storytelling Check out our popular workshops on interviewing, story editing, story structure, longform narrative, audience engagement, scriptwriting and more.

This episode is actually the second version of a rant I recorded based on a Facebook post I had a reaction to. I discovered I hadn’t had my mic turned on after recording the first version of the rant and despite feeling slightly better after voicing my feelings to all of you, I still felt compelled to share my thoughts. Which brings us to this version. The Facebook post in question was from a fellow physician who wrote that only 40% of Americans are considered obese. Her caption stating she learned the statistic during continuing medical education combined with my poor decision to read the comments got me very upset. It just reminded me again of how pervasive weight discrimination and fat shaming is in our culture, and also within medical culture. So I’m sharing my thoughts about it here.

The obesity referred to in the Facebook post was almost certainly defined using BMI because that’s how the medical world defines it. I’ve addressed all the problems with the BMI previously and even in June of this year the American Medical Association released a statement urging physicians to reconsider how they use BMI because of its history and racial implications involved with its use. So many things about the reference to obesity in the post got me riled up, and understanding the misuse of BMI is just part of it. It sparked a complicated reaction in me because I am a board-certified obesity medicine physician and though I don’t actively practice due to not believing in the interventions we’re taught to prescribe, until recently I was coaching weight loss. The unease I felt in responding to the post (I didn’t), and my offense at some of the comments inferring that people categorized as obese are disgusting, just combined into upset that led to this episode. So please join me as I break down again what is wrong with BMI, with the arbitrary categorization of obesity, with assuming weight indicates health, with not allowing for health at any size, and in examining my own personal feelings about my place in it all. I end with a promise to you, and myself, to strive for more courage in addressing these errant beliefs amongst my colleagues. 

About Dr. Michelle Tubman

Dr. Michelle Tubman is a physician and health coach. She helps women ditch dieting and thrive at any size. For the longest time she believed that weight loss was the answer to all her problems. But decades of yo-yo dieting and restriction left her miserable, unhealthy, and exhausted. Now she teaches women how harmful dieting can be and shows them the way to true health and wellness.

As a physician specializing in both emergency and obesity medicine, with additional training in nutrition, eating psychology, and coaching, Michelle can tell you with certainty that dieting is dangerous. Studies associate compromised health more with yo-yo dieting than higher body weight. Yet, everywhere you turn, shrinking your body is hailed as the solution. Women don't need to change. Attitudes do. So let's stop self-shaming, speak out against sizeism, and fiercely champion unconditional self-celebration!

Word is Lizzo is thinking of quitting music along with making her social media accounts private. I don’t agree with either as it’s caving to the masses, but I get all this constant fat shaming is taking a toll. What needs to be addressed is that it comes from women. With all the stuff women have to battle, why are we still shaming our own counterpart? K bye!

Let's bring the positive back into the body positivity movement, learn to love yourself, accept yourself, and stop cringing over others. Learn to work on yourself first, mind your own business and let people be. In this video I will address the hate that is going around, the concerns people have, and address my own concerns. We talk about fat acceptance and skinny shaming and why people have opinions about other people's bodies.

Let's take the negativity out of the internet and flood it with positive vibes, support, and love.

I’m going to start today’s episode with what might be a difficult question. What do you see when you stand naked in front to the mirror? More importantly – what do you feel? What kind of a relationship do you have with your body? Is your body a peaceful home and a beautiful place to live? 

Or are you at war with your body? Do you harbor feelings of hate, shame, guilt, or frustration with your body?

What kind of relationship do you WANT to have with your body? How would you even go about starting to engage with a healthy relationship with your body? And then how would you foster that relationship? How do you get to a place where you are kind, caring, supportive, and nourishing to and with your body?

In other words, how do you go from body war to body peace?

My guest today is Nina Manolson. Nina is a body peace coach who helps people end the war with food and body and finally feel truly at home in their body. She has over 30 years of experience as a therapist and a health & wellness coach. Join us today as Nina helps us learn how to enter a new relationship with ourselves and our bodies, and how to finally end our body wars and create meaningful lasting body peace.
