Episode 028: Embodying Health At Every Size With Kristen Ales

In this episode, we sit down with:

Kristen Ales.

Is an adventurous gal with a mission to make outdoor adventure inviting and accessible for all bodies and ability levels. Kristen has been on her own journey of disordered eating and found healing and appreciation for her body through working as a guide in the outdoor industry. Kristen is a therapist who runs her private practice in Bend, OR. She is also the founder of Wild and Weightless, a company that provides experiences in outdoors where participants celebrate their bodies for all that they can do, rather than what they look like.

What we talked about:

Feeling exposed and vulnerable

Relationship with food and binging

Individuality and full expression

Unhealthy diets

Empowering women

Abundance rather than restriction

The dangers of eating disorders

Judgment around eating

Body diversity

"When we comment on people's body size and tease them for it, it makes them feel unsafe in their body"

"The more time I spend outside, the more I felt connected with myself as a whole person"
