Nicola Haggett and I jumped into this Roxane Gay memoir and all its messiness. I loved this discussion because it really emphasizes how we can all become more empathetic to everyone who has a body, whether they are on a journey of body liberation or not. Some of the things we talk about included: * Nicola's body liberation journey * Why the Body Trust philosophy appealed to Nicola * Why Nicola loved this book * Being ok with wanting your body to change even with the knowledge of weight science * All the different meanings of hunger * How we relate to fullness * What it means to write your body story * How Nicola found safety in her body * Why this book is not a betrayal of the fat acceptance community Links: Nicola's website https://nicolahaggett.com Nicola's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nicolahaggett/ Hunger by Roxane Gay https://www.amazon.ca/Hunger-Memoir-My-Body/dp/B071J95QC4/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Hunger+by+Roxane+Gay&qid=1588195904&sr=8-1 Be Nourished https://benourished.org I Wish I Were Me Website http://iwishiwereme.com
