More Female Strength

In a world where our culture creates strong negative biases against some kinds of bodies, how do we develop a better relationship with our own bodies and reflect that back into the world? Katherine offers us a suggested path toward a more radical mindset, tracing through popular body-positive movements and landing on some practical suggestions for listeners.

Questions you can use to help break the cycle of negative body feelings:

  1. Where do these ideas come from?
  2. Do I actually believe these ideas?
  3. Who benefits from this idea or feeling?
  4. Who is hurt by this idea or feeling?
  5. How can I re-contextualize this thought or feeling so I can change it, move past it, or make it more useful?

029: Change Takes Changing

After some time off, Katherine & Cassi catch up with each other about what’s been going on and how they’ve changed in both their professional and personal lives. They take a deeper look at what they want to do, what they want to share and what’s really important in the end. “Change takes changing” comes from a beautiful piece by Brian Andreas (https://www.instagram.com/p/CY60Hy7LCUr/). “Change takes time, I said & she laughed. Time takes time, she said. Change only takes changing. But, she added, it can take time to get the hang of that.”
