Talking Body Liberation with Chrissy King

Hey Village! On today's episode y'all get to hear me become a fangirl. Books and stories are so powerful and when I had the opportunity to chat with today's guest, I almost lost it. She is definitely one of my favorite modern authors. While I was reading her book, I thought "yep, this is my spirit twin and imaginary homie." My younger self mirrored hers.

I am such a huge fan of my guest, Chrissy King, author of "The Body Liberation Project: How Understanding Racism and Diet Culture Helps Cultivate Joy and Build Collective Freedom". This book is a must have for anyone who has not felt good enough or worthy enough because of their body, their shape, the way they look, etc. This book is for anyone who wants to discover freedom by knowing that you are not your body and that we are so much more than that. This book has changed my perspective and is opening up space for me to be address my own struggles with my body and to be compassionate to the younger Chioko Juliette and to remain compassionate to myself now. 

Chrissy King writer, speaker, educator, and former strength coach with a passion for creating a diverse and inclusive wellness industry. She is also the author of The Body Liberation Project.
