Fat & Beautiful: Unpacking Thin Privilege & Anti-Fat Bias with Debbie Saroufim

Shoulders Down

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Debbie Saroufim, a body acceptance coach and food trauma healer who helps women, teens and tweens make peace with their body and build up their immunity to diet culture. Debbie’s first children’s book, Fat & Beautiful: A Book About Why You Can Be Both, was published this spring.

Together, we discuss:

• Debbie’s journey from actress to trainer to body acceptance coach
• The moralization of health and wellness
• Learning to identify diet culture in our self-talk
• Being a thin person in the fat acceptance movement
• Conversations between parents and children
• Self-compassionate intuition and recovery
