#107: Body Positive Power - interview with Megan Jayne Crabbe

I am interviewing Megan Jayne Crabbe, otherwise known as @bodyposipanda and author of Body Positive Power. We chat about: 

- Megan’s recovery from an eating disorder and diet culture and why her “goal weight” never made her happy,

- How social media was a catalyst to her recovery and what it was like to go from being an observer to an inspiration, 

- The things that helped Megan the most in her recovery, 

- The most important thing she took away from all the research she did on beauty standards and the evolution of the ideal body,

- How anger can be a useful emotion to aid in recovery from dieting, 

- Can dieting be body positive?

- How she discovered her identity outside of her body and obsession with weight loss,

- The tactics that helped her learn to embrace and appreciate her tummy,

- What she is doing when she’s “just being Megan,”

- Her brilliant response to “body positivity is glorifying obesity”,

- The history of female hunger and how liberating it is to be unashamed of our appetites,

Plus, so much more!
