  • Ghosts and Living: Eating Disorders as a Cultural Illness not Individual Sickness with Writer, Emmeline Clein

    Ghosts and Living: Eating Disorders as a Cultural Illness not Individual Sickness with Writer, Emmeline Clein
    Jun 20 2025

    I read Emmeline Clein's book 'Dead Weight' last fall in a flurry of non-fiction, memoir and journalism I was reading around eating disorder and body image. Dead Weight manages to bridge all three. Our conversation explores the cultural perceptions of anorexia and bulimia, the impact of diagnosis on identity, and the importance of pleasure and vitality in context of our perception of what disordered eating is. Dead Weight is a call for solidarity among those affected by eating disorders, which is all of us, no matter our relationship to food.

    and order her book, Dead Weight, here

    I’ve written about ‘eating a lot’ here Guacamole Fulfillment

    And how not all poor mental health is ‘bad’ - enjoy!

    The last day to get Early Bird pricing on my Summer Series is today! Grab it now and get consistent, safe, fun (!) movement on YOUR schedule all summer long.

    I also teach beginner strength and stability via Kettlebells and Pilates as well as several restorative classes and workshops including Anti-Anxiety Cardio and Fascia Release™ all of which are designed to gently shift our bodies into balance without the ableist fat shaming ‘sweat is fat crying’ mentality that infects so much of mainstream fitness.

    I hope you can find something here that supports you.

  • Community Health; Revolutionizing Aesthetic Practices with Educator and Small Business Salon Owner Uncle Nat

    Community Health; Revolutionizing Aesthetic Practices with Educator and Small Business Salon Owner Uncle Nat
    Jun 4 2025
    In today's conversation I finally get to talk to my insta-crush Uncle Nat! Uncle Nat is an educator, innovator, and the founder of Uncle Nat’s, a radically inclusive salon located in Brooklyn. Uncle Nat has reshaped the field of body hair removal with the all-gender Brazilian and created a gender-affirming, fat-glorifying, trauma- and disability-aware, deeply POC-informed salon space that provides mutual care on multiple levels. Uncle Nat is a powerful proponent of the importance of vulnerability in client relationships, the role of community in creating safe spaces, and the problem with cancel culture. The need for emotional maturity and open communication in navigating the complexities of running a small business while maintaining a commitment to accessibility and care is a deep topic for us both and I so appreciated this conversation! Also Uncle Nat is hilarious and we share some good laughs. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!If you enjoy my substack, simply ‘hearting’ it helps to spread my work. If you want to do more, comment, re-stack or share it to someone whom you think will enjoyed it. All of my work exists because of the support of my community. Please consider upgrading to paid to make this a more viable income source for me and my small team.During our conversation Uncle Nat mentioned three people who speak about the problems inherent in cancel culture: Africa Brooke , Clementine Morrigan and Adrianne Maree Brown's book We Will Not Cancel UsFind Uncle Nat on IG Here on TikTok HereMake an appointment to visit their salon or book coaching HEREI’ve written about ‘eating a lot’ here Guacamole FulfillmentAnd how not all poor mental health is ‘bad’ - enjoy!Curious about exercise?
