132. In Honor Of The Barbie Movie - How To Simultaneously Transform Your Body & Slay The Patriarchy

Slay & Thrive: Beast Mode Meets Manifesting Goddess

“A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, but an obsession about female obedience. Dieting is the most potent political sedative in women’s history; a quietly mad population is a tractable one.” - Naomi Wolf

To celebrate the release of The Barbie Movie last month, we are doing a special episode on how you can simultaneously transform your body and slay the patriarchy.

In today's society, it sometimes feel likes there are two distinct camps:

1. The weight loss and body transformation camp, which can keep women spinning in a cycle of obsessing about how their body's look and how much they're eating. This can sometimes be approached in a way that is harmful and reinforces the patriarchy.

2. The body positivity/feminism camp, which strives to empower women and allow them to love themselves and their body's at every size. However, this camp can also make women feel shame if they do want to lose weight or transform their bodies in some way.

When these two camps go to war with each other, it's a losing game for any woman involved.

But what if you didn't have to choose?

What if you could love and accept your body, celebrate yourself as a women, use your actions and your approach to tell the patriarchy to stick it where the sun doesn't shine, AND create a physical transformation, if you desire to do so?

That is what this week's episode is all about.
