Description

The Body Collective is here to change the conversation about weight — to take everything we've learned about shame, unlearn it, and transform it into a source of power. Join hosts Katie Sturino, Hunter McGrady, Ashley Longshore, and Tracy Moore for a series of hilarious and informative conversations about everything from weight-loss medications to dating while plus-sized. With the help of some friends and expert guests, we’ll be creating a judgment-free zone to ask the tough questions and have the hard conversations so we can listen to our bodies, advocate for ourselves, and – ultimately – feel more comfortable in our skin.

In our first episode, we’re tackling shame head on! The hosts bring us back to their childhoods and discuss some of their earliest body memories. Plus, we hear what shame they’ve had to unlearn to come into their own as women today. You’ll hear more about how they self-talk to start the day, how they’re teaching their kids about body image, and why they relate to Venus sculptures carved 300 centuries ago.  The Body Collective series is sponsored by WeightWatchers.
