thin privilege

We are speaking with Coach Mindy Lee Irvine about fueling our Mind, Body & Spirit.   Each of us has our own journey with body positivity and esteem.  Sometimes there is struggle, sometimes there is confidence.   Over our body's history, it may change from factors such as physicality, genetics, emotion, stress, hormones, age progression, medication, life markers,  societal and cultural pressures, and the list goes on.  This is a 2 part series, starting with lessons on fueling our bodies and making the right healthy lifestyle decisions  for you. (not for anyone else) 

Coach Mindy is a Nutrition, Mindset and Self Development coach focusing on helping women learn to fuel their bodies, achieve their goals and find health and fitness for all the areas of their lives.   This can include nutrition, mindset and personal coaching.

In this episode we discuss body comparison, fueling our bodies, relationships with nutrition and body health, and thin privilege.    Coach Mindy provides us with thoughtful perspectives and tools as we aim to set up habits for a healthy lifestyle-not just change the number on the scale or pair of jeans.

After M shared her #NoFilter story about an eating disorder, I knew I had to have her on the podcast to allow her a space to talk further about her experience and things she's learned.

Last week, M and I discussed eating disorders, diet culture, and intuitive eating. In this second interview, we speak more to body image, beauty, and learning to love yourself. If you haven't already, listen to last week's episode and watch M's #NoFilter story.

Alex and Kathy talk about a very happy and upbeat conversation about Body Image! We delve into how pregnancy affects bodies, thin privilege, bras and getting fitted. Also, forgive Kathy's audio because she is a magical unicorn who managed to magically unplug her microphone without realizing it until after the podcast was recorded.
