How To End The War With Your Body | Sonya Renee Taylor

<p><em>New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.</em></p> <p>---</p> <p>"Radical self-love" — what it is and how to do it.</p> <p>It is incredibly common for many of us humans, whatever our gender, to be at war with our bodies -- trying to live up to the people we see in the movies, on social media, or even the versions of ourselves in old pictures. This never-enough-ness can lead to an ambient level of self-loathing that can be incredibly destructive. That's where "radical self-love" comes in.</p> <p>Our guest today is <a href="https://www.sonyareneetaylor.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sonya Renee Taylor</a>. She is the author of three books, including The Body is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love. She is the Founder and Radical Executive Officer of The Body is Not An Apology. She has come to this work as a result of her own personal pain, as a Black woman inhabiting a body that she says does not conform to societal norms. </p> <p>In this conversation, we talk about defining radical self-love (and why she believes it's our natural state), tools for cultivating radical self-love, and the connection between being OK with yourself and the larger society.</p> <p><strong>Full Shownotes:</strong> <a href= "http://www.meditatehappier.com/podcast/tph/sonya-renee-taylor-rerun" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank">www.meditatehappier.com/podcast/tph/sonya-renee-taylor-rerun</a></p> <p><strong>Additional Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Download the <a href= "https://my.meditatehappier.com/start/register?plan=com.10percenthappier.subscription_1year_9999.intro_7day_free&_gl=1*1jdvhzx*_gcl_au*Mjk5MzA2MTAzLjE3MzQzNjAwNzMuMTA1NDcxODAxNi4xNzM0NTUwODU0LjE3MzQ1NTA4NTM." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Happier Meditation app</a> today. </li> </ul> <p><br /></p>
