Episode 17
For our collective liberation, it is crucial that our wellness practices go beyond the mainstream representation of individualised, material self-care. Laura Jean, APD talks about community care as a form of self-care that creates space for everyone, including marginalised and oppressed people.
In this episode:
- The "epiphany moment" book that turned both of us onto the non-diet path
- Self-care is an act of liberation, especially for oppressed and marginalised groups of people
- Unshackling ourselves from patriarchal ideas of what it is to be a "good mother"
- Differentiating commodified wellness from community care as accessible, equitable self-care
- "Who benefits?" and "What feels nourishing?" as ways of questioning self-care practices
- Why emotional and comfort eating are not “bad”
- Food is much more than medicine
- The radical, feminist roots of self-care
- How white supremacy shows up for health practitioners
- Investigating needs, values based living, and self-compassion
