I chat with Chrystal Bougon – Owner & Resident Curvy Girl at Curvy Girl Inc and activist – on feeling sexy at every size, reclaiming the word fat and the importance of sexual pleasure as self-care. In this episode, we chat about: • What loving your body means to Chrystal • The spark that fired her up to start Curvy Girl Lingerie • Why she identifies as a fat woman and the importance of reclaiming that word • The importance of asking for what you want in the bedroom and how this empowered Chrystal to be kinder and truer to herself • The power of asking for what you want in the bedroom and life • Your life is happening now, not 10 pounds from now – don’t put it on hold • Why it’s a discipline to work on your inner confidence and compassion • Why both Chrystal and I still have bad body days and how we deal with those • Her motto “Sexy is for every body!” How you can embody sexiness • How she responds to people who say she is “glorifying obesity” • Her must-hear response to internet trolls • The way fat people are portrayed in the media and how this perpetuates size stigma • All about her new TV series Plus Size Life and why we need more TV like this! • Plus so much more! |
