Episodes

  • Hi Body Protestors! it's our Season finale, and we're ending with a very special episode - Honey and Nadia chat with Pop Star extraordinaire Self Esteem, Rebecca Lucy Taylor. Prioritise Pleasure has been lauded as the top album of 2021 by a multitude of publications, and rightly so - it's a rallying cry to stop dimming your light to make others comfortable. Rebecca wants to show people (esp. women) that there’s another way outside of patriarchal norms and expectations Rebecca talks to us about her career, the moments that helped shape her relationship with herself, queer identity and trusting your creative instincts. We discuss The power of vulnerability and the importance of therapy. We adore this episode and we hope you do too!


    No Knowledge Noodle this week, instead we have a wonderful clip of Self Esteem, playing us out! See you for season five, and thank you for joining us!

  • Hey Body Protestors! Can you believe this is our penultimate episode this season!? Time flies when you're talking about your feelings! This week, Nadia and Honey speak to the incredible Kenny Ethan Jones! Jones is an activist, writer, advocate, consultant and a former model. Kenny made history by being the first trans man to front a period campaign – which launched his career in activism. His advocacy focuses on; menstruation, body politics, mental health and intimacy and he does a lot of work around positive trans representation in the media. We ask Kenny about all of this and he so incredibly generously shared so much with us. We hope you love this conversation as much as we do!


    And stay tuned for wonderful a knowledge noodle on body image flexibility and the end of this episode.

  • This week is our final episode before we slip into festive season hibernation, but don't you worry, it's of course a very juicy one to tide you over until January rolls round. Honey and Nadia talk to the effervescent Bronze Abloh. Bronze gives us a whistlestop history lesson into their understanding of ballroom but as Bronze said, gather your information from as many resources as possible - watching Paris is Burning and Pose is a good starting point after listening to this conversation. We talk about the ballroom scene and voguing, queer community/family, life drawing, tattoos, depression


    CW. Drugs, suicide ideation, self-harm


    No knowledge noodle this week! Wishing everybody a safe and happy festive season, we'll back after the holidays!

  • Hello Body Protestors! We are leaning into the science this week and had a very interesting conversation with researcher Dr Scott Griffiths on how eating disorders manifest in men, muscle dysmorphia or ‘bigorexia’, the role of gender norms and toxic masculinity in male appearance ideals, and how body image fluctuates all the time. 


    This episode’s knowledge noodle is on ‘seasonal body image’.

This conversation is very close to our hearts - we're so grateful to Lena for taking the time to speak to us. Lena is such a powerful story teller and trailblazer. We talk to Lena about:

    This week we're joined by writer and activist Scarlett Curtis - Co-founder of The Pink Protest and one of the OG driving forces behind the Body Protest Podcast, so it felt very fitting to have her back and chatting with us! Scarlett shares with us her story of chronic pain in her teen years, learning to trust her pain receptors again - and her reconnection to self with the help with some help from i-phone games, cold swimming and yoga. We hope you love this episode as much as we do - Scarlett is a true earth angel and we feel so lucky to get to share her breathtakingly beautiful and honest body journey.

  • Hi Body Protesters! This week we speak with the founders of Sick Sad Girlz Rosa and Kenzie. They tell us about the cosy corner of the internet they’ve created with nearly 20,000 people sharing their experience of SSG life, and the importance of community and friendship. We discuss accessibility and the power of making your space as soft, safe and easy for you as humanly possible. We chat about about the freedom of conversation and openness - How healing simply naming your pain can be, and how they encourage you to tell them "where it hurts". We adore these women, and know you will too - they give us huge Big Sister Energy, and we really think everyone could do with some more of that in their lives.

  • Hi Body Protesters!  

     

    We speak with our first straight male guest, an NHS surgeon and author of Food is Not Medicine, Dr Joshua Wolrich. We talk with Josh about weight stigma, food insecurity and disordered eating, and Josh tells us why some of today’s popular diets are what he calls ‘nutribollocks’. STRAP IN.  

     

    Also kudos to our pal Laura Thomas who Josh credits for being the catalyst to learning more about weight stigma and diet culture. You can listen to our conversation with Laura here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/43XIA3TX0v5e7op36qky8x?si=oNaPdDA_RL2b9HGNkZiubw

  • Hi Body Protesters!  

     

    We have another HUGE episode this week – we speak with Professor Bryn Austin, ScD, is an award-winning researcher, teacher, and mentor. Bryn is a Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and in the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at Boston Children's Hospital. She also is the director of Harvard STRIPED – the Strategic Training Initiative for the Prevention of Eating Disorders. 

     

    We talk about the cost of eating disorders, the need to change the narrative on eating disorder stereotypes and how just naming the stereotypes serves to perpetuate them. And then on a more positive note, we talk about how to create policy change through that magic combination of story-telling and science. 

     

    There’s a bit of background noise – sorry about that!
