Diet culture would have you believe that there is only one body ideal and that is the thin body.

Each person’s genetic inheritance influences their body shape, weight, size and bone structure - this includes those in small and larger bodies.

Your body can be healthy across a variety of weights and measurement tools like the BMI have been bastardised by industries interested in profit first which only serve to marginalise those that exist in larger bodies.

🫶🏾 There is no right way to have a body. 🫶🏾

Body diversity acknowledges there are many ways to have a body and no one way is better than another. ✔✔️

This is crucial for helping women break free from the overwhelming pressure that comes from feeling like their bodies are somehow not good enough as they are.

In fact, building a positive body image can come from a foundation of body diversity and one that seeks to honour the many different shapes and sizes that our bodies represent.

☺️ Enjoying a full life: declining social invitations because of how you feel in your body can lead to a sense of isolation.

❤️‍🔥 Dating and s*xual intimacy: worrying about someone will judge your body will hold you back from putting yourself out there.

🤓 Work / study: potentially spending more time obsessing over your body and appearance can make it difficult to focus.

💃🏽 Physical health: ongoing stress about your body can lead to restrictive / binge eating, or impact moving your body out of fear for how others will judge you.

🥺 Emotional / Psychological health: the trauma of body shame and appearance anxiety can impact your ability to allow big emotions to be felt

Understanding the definition of fat-phobia and weight stigma is an important first step, however, ensuring you are a part of the solution and not contributing to the problem is even more important.

Have you read This Body Is Not An Apology by Sonja Renee Taylor yet?

This book deeply resonated and was deeply transformational.

There's not a whisper of loving your body, instead, Sonja focuses on developing radical self-love in order to find peace with your body and ultimately peace with the bodies of other people.

Now do yourself a favour, go and get this book!

Did you know that:

- 46% of people with larger bodies have changed their behaviour to avoid unwanted attention because of their weight

Can you imagine what it would be constantly having to change the very core of who you are out of fear of being seen and heard in your body?

Discrimination against people in larger bodies makes it particularly difficult for them to navigate the world, live full lives and be in their full expression.

With fat phobia and weight bias comes micro-aggressions, prejudice, and everyday sizeism, means people in larger bodies face many social, cultural, economic and political challenges.

My business coach gave me a loving bitch slap over the weekend and I’ve never been more grateful.

We discussed how to show up in our business and amplify our voice to connect with our community.

My truth bomb?

That I’ve been keeping it pretty vanilla of late and I've been doing this due to fear of triggering people with my message on such a public scale when in reality, body image is a f*cking triggering topic.

❤️‍🩹 It’s not easy to admit that there are days when you hate your body, that you shy away from social gatherings because you’re ashamed, and that you feel unworthy or unloveable. ❤️‍🩹

Yet this is the experience for so many women because we live in a society that is flooded with fat phobia and weight stigma. ❌❌

For so many, being in a larger body is the worst thing that could happen to them and depending on what other identities you hold (sexual orientation, body ability, gender expression, race), the weight of body shame is further amplified.

So no, I won’t be keeping it vanilla anymore.

Feeling safe, included and a sense of belonging is a privilege that women in larger bodies aren’t always afforded.

This is the fuel that drives me to go deeper with you.

So here’s hoping that I can trigger some of you (🫢👼🏽) because it would mean that I’m cutting through the noise, that I’m challenging the status quo and giving a voice to women who have felt oppressed, marginalised and judged simply for existing in a larger body.

Give me 🙌🏽 in the comments if you're with me!

I went to a dating event and instead of spending the entire night in my head concerned about my body and appearance, how I was being judged by the men I was speaking to OR the other women attending, I was present in every conversation, laughing and generally having a fun night! 💪🏾💪🏼💪🏿

❌ Paula from 5 years ago wouldn't even have considered attending. ❌

❌ She was making life decisions based on the challenging relationship she had with her body, denying herself the opportunity to meet new people and experience new things. ❌

👑 Fast forward to the present day, my worth is no longer entangled with my appearance and I’m no longer prioritising how others view my body.

👑 I understand that my value and worth as a woman is far beyond the sum of my body parts.

👑 I have the tools, strategies and practices to rise up against unrealistic beauty/body ideals AND navigate challenging body image days.

🙌🏽 This is BODY RECLAMATION and why I’m so passionate about partnering with women who are ready to reclaim the relationship with their bodies.

✨✨✨ It’s also why I’m offering TWO SCHOLARSHIPS to my 4-month personalised 1-on-1 coaching experience Body Reclamation (valued at $1497)✨✨✨

Application Deadline: Monday 12 September 2022 at 11:59PM (AEST).
