Today’s guest is Chrissy King, a writer, speaker, and educator who focuses on diversity and inclusion within the wellness industry. We talk about how she came to write her book, Body Liberation Project, and how diet culture is rooted in racism and white supremacy. We also chat about thin privilege and recognizing privilege, how people can make small changes to create freedom from diet culture, and how it robbed her of experiences with herself, family, and friends.
