55: "Oh, That's Not Cool" - Protecting Kids From Diet Culture with Vicky Bellman {Re-Run}

In this episode I talk to therapist Vicky Bellman, from Concentric Counselling and Fat Bubble, about protecting our kids from the weird diet culture things people say that can rupture their embodiment. I loved talking to Vicky last summer and knew the CIHAS fam would get so much from this conversation. It turns out you've also loved this conversation too, with Vicky's episode ranking as a CIHAS fave according to our podcast stats.

In this episode we discuss:

👉 The 'hot potato' of disordered eating and disembodiment that gets transmitted through families
👉 How to shut down body shaming conversations in their tracks
👉 How we can transmit healing back up the line, as well as protect our kids
👉 How every day that we protect our kids from diet culture is a day we are giving back to our younger selves
👉 Why body positivity and food neutrality are not the whole story

We talk about how we feed ourselves and our kids (in all senses of the word!), and the ingredients we need to survive in diet culture. We’re sitting with the questions: who or what are we nurturing? And who or what is nurturing us? Hosted by Laura Thomas - anti-diet nutritionist and author of the Can I Have Another Snack? newsletter.
