In this episode, I bring in a special guest Miriam Lara-Mejia to help us release the shame we may have against our bodies. As someone who has always struggled with their weight, I have been working on my self love journey and I share more about how gordaphobia has impacted my life. Miriam breaks down how our cultura and society play a big impact to the way we perceive ourselves and our bodies. This episode goes deep into rewiring our perception of being Fat/Gorda.
Miriam Lara-Mejia is an educator and mom on a mission to empower parents to raise kids who know and accept themselves and who celebrate body diversity for all. Drawing on her 15+ years of experience developing popular education health materials and her unique multicultural perspective, Miriam uses her platform to talk about body liberation, self acceptance, and bodypositive parenting. She pokes fun at fatphobia in the Latinx community, peeling back layers of trauma, intergenerational violence, and resilience through humor and community. Miriam’s content inspires critical thinking, makes people laugh, empowers the cycle breakers, and breaks down the barriers that prevent people from knowing and accepting themselves.
