This discussion was so amazing. Amanda Martinez Beck joined me to discuss three spiritual stories that impacted her life path. These stories changed her beliefs about her body. Our conversation touched on so many things, including: • Amanda’s journey with her body image • How Amanda’s journey has changed her relationship with her husband, her family and her church • Catholic fasting and why it could be detrimental to eating disorder recovery • What is gluttony? • Why she called herself a size dignity activist • Asking questions and getting curious about other perspectives • Dismantling the meaning of health • Spoon theory • Recognizing privilege and why it is important to call out • The three spiritual stories that made a huge impact on Amanda’s life: -Wounds are not bad and don’t need to be covered up -It’s okay to fight for something you believe in -In your brokenness and weakness, you are a treasure • The use of the word fat • How and why we believe what we do • The importance of story
