EP.17 - Doreen Chin - "I Have To Stop Punishing My Body When I Want It To Do So Much For Me"

Middle Fingers Up

Welcome Doreen Chin. Join us as we take another journey on the MFU Body Image Campaign. Doreen and I discuss as first generation Canadians how it was from childhood to adults regarding body image within our cultures, being near and over 40, to how to love our bodies and how our cultures and society have impacted our relationships with food. We discuss hard lessons learned through diet culture as well as everyday people that our struggles are valid and how we need to constantly learn and relearn about ourselves and our bodies. We discuss health and diet and taking power away from external validation and finding happiness within ourselves. We want to thank Doreen for her vulnerability and courage for opening up to us on these matters that many of us keep to our inside dialogue.
