Rethinking Wellness

Sociologist and journalist Kathryn Jezer-Morton, author of the new book THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE, joins us to discuss how social media affects the way we make sense of our lives, how the pressure to perform emotional wellness online affects our *actual* emotional well-being, how credentialed providers with nuanced messages can get heard in this media environment, and more. In a deeper dive for paid subscribers, we get into how to change your relationship with social media, why “flat stories” are sometimes more helpful than transformative ones, and where to share stories about chronic illness, disability, and eating disorders without the pressure to perform.

Body-image therapist Zoe Bisbing joins us to discuss why body image is such a challenging part of disordered-eating recovery, how to deal with our body-focused inner critics, and why many people have such visceral reactions to public figures losing weight. In a deeper dive for paid subscribers, we discuss why setting limits with food won’t automatically give your kid an eating disorder, which limits are developmentally appropriate, and how parents who’ve had our own histories of disordered eating can avoid becoming overly permissive.
