Body Convos with Kids and Making Parenthood Your Own with Kayla Stansberry

The Body Competence Podcast

Join Michelle (she/her) and Kayla Stansberry (she/her) in this episode for a candid and cozy conversation that spans rethinking the "twenties checklist", how to talk to kids about bodies (even when we aren't comfortable with our own), getting validation outside of parenthood, dressing for sensory needs, and so many more incredible gems.
Kayla (She/Her) is a Licensed Therapist who specializes in Fat Activism & Fat Liberation Education. She is the founder and owner of Intuitive Growth Counseling and provides training to fellow mental health providers on anti-fat bias. Kayla is passionate about spreading Fat Liberation and facilitates retreats to promote fat community and explore body freedom. The foundation of Kayla's work focuses on social justice and how racism and ableism facilitates body oppression.

The Body Competence Podcast explores what it means to be and raise body competent humans. In each episode Michelle and her guests talk about getting back in touch with our needs, wants, and desires that were suppressed by the power hierarchies of patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism, anti-fat bias, ableism, and even our own families.
Michelle navigates topics like body positivity, body neutrality, cycle breaking, food neutrality and so much more. This podcast is for you if you are a human or parent trying to imagine a future without diet culture and other toxic intergenerational cycles but aren’t quite sure where to begin.
