Body Loyalty with Tresa Edmunds

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Tresa Edmunds, the creative visionary of Body Loyalty, on my podcast. We talked about embracing our bodies, especially when we're dealing with disabilities and trauma. It was such an eye-opening conversation, and I'm excited to share some of Tresa's insights with you.

Tresa emphasized the importance of viewing our bodies as human experiences, rather than status objects. She pointed out that we often use our bodies to achieve status and material goods, without considering our own needs. Instead, we need to prioritize our bodies and treat ourselves like human beings.

During our conversation, Tresa also touched on the role of systems of oppression in our relationship with our bodies. She highlighted the impact of colonialism, slavery, and capitalism on our views of ourselves and our bodies. By acknowledging these systems and their effects, we can start to undo the harmful conditioning we've received.

Overall, I found Tresa's insights to be thoughtful and inspiring. If you're interested in learning more about Body Loyalty and Tresa's work, check out the podcast episode on our website.
