In this interview, Dr. Browne shares both her personal experiences that led to her becoming an activist for body positivity, as well as her research on the story telling that goes on in advertising. Specifically we talk about: ✅Why before/after weight loss stories can often do more harm than good when it comes to self-acceptance. ✅The “social media contract”: What it is and how to educate our kids to become responsible consumers of information. ✅Dr. Browne’s personal experiences in common weight-loss programs as an adolescent, and how it led to the work she currently does now with body positivity and activism. ✅Traumatic elementary school gym class experiences (for both of us) that had an impact on self-esteem and body image. ✅How to shift the stories we believe about who “belongs” in certain activities (like sports) so we can make the world a more accepting place. ✅What youth leaders (teachers, parents, coaches) can do to make activities more inviting to a more diverse range of participants. Dr. Kate Browne is a writer, speaker, and researcher on a mission to rewrite the stories we tell about ourselves.
