#193 How to Fight Health Shaming

If you were ever guilted into feeling bad about the choices you've made, how you look, what your interests are or how you choose to live your life, then this podcast is for you.

 

As of late, shaming has been a hot topic all in the media on a worldwide scale.

 

Interestingly enough, when doing the research I couldn't find a solid definition on 'shaming' much less two people who used the term to mean the same thing.

 

We seem to have an idea of what 'shaming' means, but don't know specifically what exactly we're talking about. Not being able to define any problem is a huge challenge with finding a solution.

 

One of the areas you may not have considered as even possible for people to shame is when others are trying to make the right decisions. Believe it or not, there is such a thing as health shaming, which means shaming for wanting or trying to be healthy.

 

What we cover:

• The definition of shaming. What it means to shame and be shamed and how there is power in knowing exactly what you are dealing with so you can fix it.
• Why shaming really stems from these 2 concepts that we have covered in previous podcasts.
• Practical action steps that you can take to reduce your response to shaming and those people who are trying to shame you.
