Jaded, Unjaded

Steph & Jules

"What does 'Jaded' mean?" The concept of being jaded is when you are fatigued from something, usually because you have done it too much. This can be anything as casual as working on Mondays to topics such as social justice. In this podcast we discuss the good and bad in a safe space whilst trying to 'unjade' the jaded feeling from it therefore, turning the negative experiences into positive and practical perspectives. Hosted by Steph & Jules 🎙️✨

    Episode 5: Fat & Asian: Outcasted, The Societal Issues & Embracing Our Curves

    TW: notions of body image issues and negative body image experiences have been mentioned in this episode. Discretion is advised. Support links are available at the bottom! 💚 What does 'Fat' have anything to do with being 'Asian'? Being a curvy person is already difficult enough against expectations of society and the warped world of media, but then being a curvy Asian with the Eastern influence and mindset that comes with it, is conflicting. The idea of feeling 'fat' is a subjective concept, therefore important to note that whilst you can perceive someone as skinny/slim/well built and more, they may perceive themselves as fat. In this episode, Jules & Steph share their most distinctive memories and struggles from the past and present as proud curvy Asian women! We talk about fat-shaming, how we dealt with hurtful words and actions based on our size, and best of all, how to own it! 💃💃 Support Links Body Image Movement: Resources available globally: UK, US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden, France, Germany, Belgium, Mexico, Switzerland, South Africa and Austria.  Be Real Campaign: Various UK resources to seek advice.  Feelings & Symptoms of Body Image Issues (Young Minds): More info on body image including advice on how to support friends and practise body positivity.  Mind UK: UK support and advice.
