Description

For our collective liberation, it is crucial that our wellness practices go beyond the mainstream representation of individualised, material self-care. Laura Jean, APD talks about community care as a form of self-care that creates space for everyone, including marginalised and oppressed people.

In this episode:

  • The "epiphany moment" book that turned both of us onto the non-diet path
  • Self-care is an act of liberation, especially for oppressed and marginalised groups of people
  • Unshackling ourselves from patriarchal ideas of what it is to be a "good mother"
  • Differentiating commodified wellness from community care as accessible, equitable self-care
  • "Who benefits?" and "What feels nourishing?" as ways of questioning self-care practices 
  • Why emotional and comfort eating are not “bad”
  • Food is much more than medicine
  • The radical, feminist roots of self-care
  • How white supremacy shows up for health practitioners
  • Investigating needs, values based living, and self-compassion
