A Stand For Self-Love: Amy's Advocacy

Big Sexy Chat Podcast

Send us a text

Join us for a heartfelt chat with Amy Pence-Brown, a body image activist who's changing the narrative around body acceptance. This isn't your typical conversation, as we traverse the diverse facets of Amy's life - from standing blindfolded in a marketplace clad in a bikini to her roles as a poet, blogger, fat liberationist, and feminist. This episode provides a front-row seat to Amy's vulnerability and her relentless advocacy for acceptance of all body sizes.
We don't stop at body positivity though. We confront the challenging subject of weight loss medications and their disturbing trend among children. Could you imagine the impact on their tender self-esteem? We also shed light on the emerging movement of death positivity in America. Amy's creativity shines through as we discuss her innovative project of reimagining the 1950s pin-up girl, Hilda, to promote body positivity. Amy's tireless work as the founder of Boise Rad Fat Collective further emphasizes her commitment to the cause.
As we wrap up, the theme of self-acceptance remains front and center. Amy's viral video promoting self-love certainly got people talking and we get to delve into the impact it's had. The nuggets of wisdom in this chat are certainly worth your time. And if you're inspired by Amy’s message, which we’re sure you will be, we invite you to connect with her online. Tune in for an uplifting exploration of body positivity, self-love, and acceptance. You'll be left contemplating your own relationship with your body, and hopefully, a little more empowered to love yourself, just as you are.
