126 | Fatphobia, Diet Culture Rebellion, + Self Love with Virgie Tovar

Virgie Tovar has been a leader in the anti-diet culture movement, and it is a total honor to get to bring her on the show today for this in-depth and juicy interview.

We cover her path to self love, rebelling against diet culture, the intersection of fatphobia, racism, capitalism, and the patriarchy, how we can fulfill ourselves in real ways, and so SO much more.
