Fat Girl Book Club

Big: stories about life in plus-sized bodies edited by Christina Myers with Christina Myers, Shadoe Ball, Amanda Scriver and Heather van Mil

Episode Summary

This week's episode starts with a bit of deja vu!  Last episode was filled with great little mini-conversations I had with some of the authors of Big: Stories about Life in Plus-Sized Bodies.  This week, I continue to introduce you to more amazing humans who are connected to this book. In this episode we had a heart- filled roundtable discussion. The structure of this episode revolved around four questions: How did your body liberation/body positive journey start? How did the process of writing and/or editing this book change you? What is your story in the anthology about and why is it important? What is one thing you think someone could do to start on a path to loving their body? Needless to say, I was talking to a talented pack of writers, so they had a lot to say!  We talked for an hour and a half and I loved every minute of it.  Our conversation meandered and then got focused and then did it again.  It was brilliant and packed with love.
