Ep. 064: "Rage Becomes Her" with Soraya Chemaly

The BodyLove Project with Jessi Haggerty

In this episode I talk to Soraya Chemaly, an award winning writer and author of Rages Becomes Her, the Power of Women’s Anger. After reading Soraya’s book last year I was so excited to finally have her on the podcast to talk about all of the parallels between women’s anger, diet culture, and body image. And as expected, she did not disappoint. This episode is chock full of amazing nuggets of wisdom from Soraya and ends on a more inspirational note, to help us all use our anger for the betterment of ALL bodies.

In the episode we talk about:

• Why Soraya’s book is not a self-help book.
• Anger and gender norms.
• Why confidence isn’t always a good thing.
• How suppressed anger (or living in a culture that suppresses women’s anger) can disrupt interoceptive awareness.
• Gaslighting 101.
• How to move forward with this information.
