-
- Society & Culture
Christa Couture is an award-winning performing and recording artist, filmmaker, non-fiction writer and broadcaster. She is also mixed Cree and Scandanavian-settler, queer, disabled, and a mom. Her seventh album Safe Harbour was released on Coax Records in 2020. As a writer and storyteller, she has been published in Room, Shameless, and Augur magazines, and on cbc.ca. In 2018, her article and photos on disability and pregnancy went viral. She is the weekday afternoon host on 106.5 ELMNT FM in Toronto, Canada, and her debut memoir How to Lose Everything is out now with Doulgas & McIntyre.
In this episode, we talk about finding a messy-middle of acceptance, a childhood living with bone cancer, life as a queer amputee, GRIEF AS AN ACCESS NEED and much more.

LITQB Podcast: This is a podcast about the barriers to embodiment and how our collective body stories can bring us back to ourselves. This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another. Livinginthisqueerbody.com @livinginthisqueerbody
