An incredibly powerful article about the body positive movement, fatphobia, race, & how before & after photos are violent.

We acknowledge our privilege in the body positive movement, and are always seeking to listen & learn ❤️

These white female dietitians have helped steal and monetize the body positive movement. And I’m sick of it.

Warriors. It’s been a while.
We’ve been moving through so many emotions over the past several months that we weren’t sure where to start.
So let’s start where we are.
Fear. Gratitude. Outrage. Grief.
Simultaneously. Moving like the tides. In and out. Back and forth. Pausing and flowing.
Like the breath. We are still breathing.
Breath lends power to stillness.
Stillness lends power to observation.
Observation lends power to truth.
Truth lends power to action.
Action lends power to change.
But let’s start where we are. Right here, with the breath.
What do you feel?
Where do you feel it?

We know from our experience in recovery that it’s not enough to just treat the symptoms, but that it is critical to address & heal the root cause of suffering. We also know that healing looks different for everyone. Sometimes it’s quiet, & sometimes you have to burn things down to the ground.
To our friends and all those affected by racial inequality & injustice, to those fighting for your right to simply exist in this world...
We see you.
We hear you.
We love you.
We stand with you.

We love Yoga Girl, and her latest podcast might be our favorite one yet. Take a bit of time for yourself this weekend, and ask yourself what helps you remember that your body is sacred? ✨🧘🏻‍♀️✨

“In this episode, Rachel finds herself in a place of shame after realizing she has gained weight during quarantine. But here’s the thing - she felt no shame at all, in fact she felt great in her body, until she stepped on a scale. What was it inside of her that caused that shift?”

Many of these words came up in Virtual Vibe Tribe last night. You don’t need to do anything other than survive this experience of trauma right now. Whatever that looks like today, you did your best, and that is absolutely enough.

"As a trauma psychologist, I am utterly utterly horrified, enraged, and bewildered about how people can believe and spread this phrase in good conscience."

We’ve been seeing a lot of shaming on social media these days. We don’t need shame, or guilt. We need compassion, for eachother & ourselves. Do what you can, take what you need. Much love Tribe 💚
