About this episode
What does it really mean to “stay in shape?” And how can we challenge current, often damaging, diet and fitness culture norms to reframe issues surrounding the body and physical fitness? Join writer, activist, and mental health advocate Rachel Michelle Fernandes as she talks to a competitive body builder and social work professor, a punk-feminist pioneer, and two therapists who specialize in treating body issues. Ending the mental illness stigma, one rehab session at a time.Links:
