    #100 - An Intuitive & Satisfying Ending

    Can we truly say goodbye when the journey has been this fulfilling? As we celebrate our 100th episode of the Satisfaction Factor podcast, we look back with pride and gratitude on three transformative years of meaningful conversations about body liberation and the relentless dismantling of diet culture. We've reached a point where our personal and professional lives have evolved, and the time feels right to conclude this chapter. We've always believed in the power of an "intuitive ending," and it’s with this philosophy that we embrace this transition, knowing we've achieved our original aspirations. Podcasting has been a voyage of unexpected joys, surprises, and deep connections. Our listeners have joined us in this enriching exploration, and we've cherished every moment of learning together.  As we wrap up this journey, we fondly reminisce about our favorite episodes and the humor found in even the harshest one-star reviews. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we encourage you to continue engaging with us through our social media channels and websites. Though this is a farewell to the podcast, the connection we've built is far from over.

    #94 - Beyond Mainstream Body Positivity

    What if the body positivity movement you know today is actually working against its original goals? In this episode, we're talking about how the body positivity movement, initially focused on fat liberation and dismantling oppressive systems, has been hijacked by mainstream culture. Learn how today's body positivity often centers on privileged bodies, sidelining those it was meant to uplift, including fat, disabled, and BIPOC individuals. We're talking about: how mainstream body positivity can uphold & sometimes even strengthen the oppressive narratives of diet culturethe harsh realities faced by people in larger bodies when it comes to accessible clothing & public spaces the economic & social justice implications of these exclusionshow the lack of inclusivity in fashion & essential public spaces not only impacts personal aesthetics but also creates significant barriers in employment & daily lifeweight bias in the medical field & beyond, and how weight stigma leads to inferior healthcare & delayed treatments.how anti-fat bias seeps into employment, education, and even the judicial system, with shocking statistics about wage disparities & job discrimination.This episode is a powerful call to move beyond superficial body positivity towards true body liberation and fat positivity, advocating for systemic change and inclusivity.
