How Body Positivity Can Help Everyone Train & Race Better (Part 2 & Part 3)
Part 2 & 3 - Society’s Perceptions & Vulnerability
Welcome to the internet’s most exciting endurance sport and self-improvement podcast, Master of some!
Download PDF Transcription Here
This episode is an opportunity to highlight an underrepresented category —- mental health and mental physical fitness. This is as important as how fast you can run.
We believe a podcast about my physical insecurities, public nudity perception and gender equality actually fits this positive mental health model quite well.
This is a narrative re-release in the "Grower Not a Shower" mental health series. It's part two and three.
This was previously a cross release with another podcast called “Cool Black Dudes” that is on a long term hiatus at the moment.
Please note - The episode while extremely informative contains some foul language and adult content. Listener discretion is advised.
In this episode we'll explain and talk about;
- Society's perceptions around nudity
- The scientific and evolutionary reason why humans shy away from being nude.
- The value of being vulnerable. I feel that vulnerability is the heart of a lot of good things in the world and a key component in our embarrassment with public nudity.
- I'm also joined in this series by Jessa - The Nude Blogger to help tell the female side of this story.
- Travel back in time to hear another fun story from my childhood
- Jessa - The Nude Blogger to help tell the female side of this story.
