Summary
This week on the pod Laura's speaking to Poorna Bell - journalist, author + badass.
In this episode they discuss:
✨ The impact of the messages we hear about our bodies whilst growing up
✨ How oppressive diet culture + all of it's subcultures are, in that they're designed to keep us physically + metaphorically small
✨ The amount of time, money + energy that goes into the mental arithmetic of food + exercise preoccupation, and what amazing stuff that could be used for instead
✨ How finding powerlifting helped Poorna to start feeling grounded within her body
✨ The power can be found in embodiment + viewing our bodies as vessels rather than ornaments
