Sami and Aleen are joined this week by author, advocate, and yoga instructor, Jessamyn Stanley, who is back on DST to talk about how to consciously accept your body. They discuss what it was like growing up in the South as a black woman, developing her own own wellness company, and her new book Yoke. Next, they unpack what the title “Yoke” actually means, how to handle imposter syndrome and internalized fat phobia, and what yoga has taught her about herself. Then, they discuss what to do if you don’t feel comfortable in your body, sexual assault, and what it means to hate your body while you’re recovering from a life-threatening accident. Finally, they talk about why you don’t need to like your body everyday, but you need to accept it and practical ways you can actually get closer to loving yourself.
