EMBODIED BLACK GIRL with Thérèse Cator

{Content Warning: Eating Disorders} Have you ever felt guilty about eating the foods you love? If so, this episode is for you. My guest, Alishia McCullough, is a millennial Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist and the founder of Black and Embodied. In this conversation, we explore how our relationship with food is not only personal, it’s political, it’s historical and shaped by trauma. We explore: How Alishia got started in this work The ways that diet culture, healthism distorts our relationship with food How fatphobia is rooted in white supremacy and impacts the ways we nourish ourselves The importance of shifting our language away from “eating disorders” to “eating imbalances” and the Indigenous wisdom around embracing this perspective and so much more… I hope this episode invites you to have a more holistic relationship with food and with yourself. I also hope the next time you sit down for a meal there’s less guilt and more joy.

If you’ve ever quoted Audre Lorde, you’re going to love this episode with Dr. Briona Simone Jones. Dr. Jones is a scholar, professor and editor of the multi-award-winning book, Mouths of Rain: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Thought.  Mouths of Rain is the most comprehensive anthology centering Black Lesbian Thought to date. During this thought-provoking conversation, we explore the erasure of Black women specifically Black lesbian thinkers such as Audre Lorde, Alexis De Veaux, Cheryl Clarke among others and the importance of reclaiming their contributions.  We also discuss how this intersects grief, intimacy, pleasure and liberation all through the revolutionary and healing power of the archives.  If you enjoyed this episode, please share with a beloved and share what resonated in the reviews. 💜 RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Purchase Briona's Book: Mouth of Rain Follow: Briona on IG Book: JesusDevil by Alexis De Veaux Book: Survival is a Promise by Alexis Pauline Gumbs Book: Who's Your Daddy by Arisa White Article: Moving Towards Life by Marina Magloire Explore the works of Cheryl Clarke Explore the works of Dionne Brand STAY CONNECTED WITH EBG & THÉRÈSE ✨Join our community and receive a free Boundaries Practice: www.embodiedblackgirlpodcast.com Follow us on IG: @embodiedblackgirl + @theresecator

This episode is expanding on a piece I wrote about how the theme for this year emerged - it's all about going all in when it comes to our soul's work and we're doing it workshop style!  In this episode I riff on... How going all in can feel edgy, dangerous and the important re-frame that can allow us to expand. The role that our past traumas play in going all in. An important message that emerged about going all in which is key to taking the pressure off. I take you through some workshop style inquires that peel back the layers to identify where you're being called to go all in, the support you need and more. Plus, I talk about going all in in a way that's regenerative and doesn't subscribe to grind culture, exploitation and extraction.   --- RESOURCES + LINKS APPLY to join our offering Decolonial Leadership to support you in the blooming of your soul's work: https://decolonialleadership.com We begin October 10th!
