PWP 18: Body Neutrality vs. Body Positivity

Episode Summary

In this episode, Justin and Rebecca talk about the body positivity movement, both in regards to women's weight and disabled bodies. While the intention behind "body positivity" is good, it has often left bodies that have chronic pain, disabilities, and mental illnesses out of the picture. We discuss how we have both reached a certain degree of "body neutrality" which has helped us enjoy life in our bodies more.
