FORGET SOCIETY'S BODY STANDARDS AND FIND BODY JOY!
FIERCE AND CURVY EMPIRE | @fierceandcurvyempire
At a certain point, we just have to stop giving a crap about other people's opinions (seriously, who cares?) and forget about trying to fit into society's beauty standards for the sake of finding our own body joy! Only then can we start to confidently take up space and be the best version of ourselves...the version that's changing the freaking world!
Queen K Says...
"Taking up space is not giving a damn what anyone else is thinking, to fully experience the moment and not have anything else take you away from that."
How much juiciness can we fit into one podcast episode? You're about to find out! I talked with the Queens of Fierce and Curvy Empire, founder Queen K and her crew Queen D and Queen C, and we dove into what it looks like when we buy into society's body ideals and thin beauty standards and why we have to STOP GIVING A CRAP about all of that and discover our own body joy!
Some of the highlights of our convo include,
- Why we need to stop waiting to lose weight to feel worthy
- Exploring dance in a plus-size body as a journey, not a destination
- What happens when we move for joy, not maximum calorie burn
- Finding body joy when life throws you a curve ball
- The glorious concept of Fat Vanity?
- No longer internalizing body shame that others carry and project onto us
- Why fat representation matters for younger generations
- The frustration of existing in a society that doesn't want to see fat people living their best lives
- When someone tells a fat person they're so brave ... and why sometimes that feels awesome and other times totally sucks!
