A Different Take on Familiar Content

Jessie Kneeland has fresh takes on familiar topics and also starts conversation on previously uncovered discussion. I’ve listened to many great body image and ED related pods; after a while tho, I started to feel like I was hearing the same content turned over and over. Not About Your Body “turns the page” on these important topics.

Jessie generously offers the pod for free, but of course, if you want to reciprocate and are financially able, you can find her on Patreon. (Note: I have no personal connection to Jessie, I just appreciate the content and want to support the work with this shoutout.)

Justice for Lindo Bacon

I’m pretty bummed that the podcaster did a whole episode gossiping about a pioneer in the fat acceptance movement who is also non binary. They have worked hard to create positive change. Just because they are white and didn’t hand over their book deal doesn’t make them a bad person. SMH

Jessi’s content is amazing

Jessi’s words of wisdom helped me heal from decades of body image misery. The way she frames topics and presents information is engaging and also makes so much sense.
Also check out her Instagram account and her website (where her TED talk is linked) and sign up for her weekly emails!
