Kjerstin Gruys: A Year Without Mirrors Jun 17, 2015

Show notes

Episode 54: In the midst of planning a wedding, Kjerstin Gruys discovered she was falling prey into bridal societal pressures and decided to go against the grain by not looking at her body in a mirror for a full year. She compiles her experiences in her book Mirror, Mirror Off The Wall. Outside of her incredible book, Kjerstin's research broadly explores the relationship between physical appearance and social inequality, with specialized expertise in labor market inequality, sociology of culture/cultural sociology, and how body size, in particular, intersects with other markers of difference. Prior to earning her PhD, Kjerstin worked as a merchandiser in the corporate offices of two multi-national fashion firms. She is currently developing a book manuscript, tentatively titled:True to Size?: A Social History of Clothing Size Standards in the U.S. Fashion Industry. I read Kjerstin's book earlier this year after glancing at it on my "to read" list for at least a year or two. I finally bought myself a copy, and after reading the book in two days, I wanted to knock myself over the head for not reading it sooner. This is a MUST READ book, just like this is a MUST LISTEN interview. Here's what we talked about today: How and why Kjerstin came up with her "year without mirrors" project Issues with certain bridal traditions still carried on today Her first week without mirrors and reflective surfaces Training yourself to feel more beautiful vs. putting less emphasis on the importance of feeling beautiful (externally and aesthetically) Kjerstin's biggest challenge during her year without mirrors Her relationship with the scale Social media, filters, photoshop, and being a part of the solution Kjerstin's feelings of desire, romance and pleasure during the experiment Healthier uses of the mirror for our body image Connect with Kjerstin: Website Buy Mirror, Mirror Off the Wall Facebook Twitter [Tweet "Ever wondered what it would be like to go an entire year without mirrors?

Melissa A. Fabello: Misconceptions About Feminism and Eating Disorder Recovery Apr 29, 2015

Show notes

Episode 47: Melissa A. Fabello is a sexuality educator, body image and eating disorder activist, and media literacy vlogger based out of Philadelphia, PA. She is a Managing Editor of Everyday Feminism and a PhD student in Human Sexuality Studies, where her research interest is in the effectiveness of current sexuality-focused psychoeducational interventions in eating disorder recovery programs. Why am I so ridiculously excited to release this episode? Most of all because Melissa is an incredibly smart woman. She researches. She experiences. She's open-minded, but at the same time, she firmly stands for what she believes in. There are certain people I interview that I want on the show simply because they are awesome, but the conversation doesn't flow as well because they don't have mind-blowing things to say. That is not the case for this episode. I had a ton of questions to ask her that came from my own heart- things I've been dying to understand. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do! Here's what we talk about: How Melissa became interested in feminism and sexuality in the first place The definition of feminism Can you be a feminist but also "traditional" when it comes to dating? Misconceptions about feminism in the media How the "bra burning" event isn't true, and what actually happened Breaking down the argument about having a female president such as Mrs. Clinton Why boys stop crying when they reach school-age, while girls continue to express themselves safely Genderization of kids before birth Okay, let's talk about Disney for a sec The actual problem with beauty pageants (no it's not the participant's fault) How Melissa adopted an eating disorder after a breakup Eating disorder management vs. recovery The importance of walking away when you feel triggered Here's where you can connect with Melissa: Website Twitter Tumblr Facebook YouTube Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube: maddymoon.com/youtubepodcast Is it about time you learn how to eliminate your own triggers and start your recovery journey with a group of other like-minded women?

And then, if you like it, please challenge yourself to share it with somebody that may need to know just how common cellulite is! The more we share, the more we care.

I know it's tough to turn off your shame-o-meter when you're first beginning your food freedom journey, but in this episode, I go over my personal thoughts on this subject and how you can cultivate a judgment-free mindset for you and others. Here's what else I talk about in this episode: Katie Dalebout from The Wellness Wonderland Radio How Cellulite Saved My Life The importance of vulnerability and honesty on your road to self-discovery The difference between dieting and a diet (getting rid of labels) How a year ago I used diets to get out of my comfort zone There are no good or bad foods, but also no good/bad actions- it's all based on motivation and perception The two kinds of "healthy" groups and how we should stop shaming each other (there are obviously many other types, but these are two common ones) When I caught myself shaming my own food choices and what I did about it Food choice consequences How YOU can find your "happy weight" by just eating what you want Speaking of shaming….
