48. [Rerun] Anger, Rage, and Body Trust: Navigating Emotions in a Complex World

In this rerun of episode 29 hosts Hilary, Sirius, and Dana delve into the complex emotions surrounding anger and rage in personal and political contexts. They discuss the stigmatization and manipulation of anger in marginalized communities, and the socio-economic and racial dynamics that fuel these emotions. The conversation transitions into the personal realm, exploring how anger is internalized, especially in women and marginalized groups, and the importance of acknowledging and processing these feelings. The hosts share insights on the intersectionality of anger with other emotions like grief, the cultural implications of anger, and strategies for harnessing and transforming this powerful emotion for personal and collective healing.

47. Summer Sabbatical, Fat Community Events, and Skills for the GLP-1 Era

Dana, Hilary, and Sirius record the last Body Trust Podcast episode before a summer sabbatical. They discuss “hot topics,” including Sports Illustrated’s diverse swimsuit runway and the cultural fixation on “flattering” as code for making bodies look smaller, plus fashion imagery like aprons and restrictive mouth accessories. They reflect on Virgie Tovar’s point that thriving in the body positivity era required different skills than the current GLP-1 era, emphasizing critique, liberatory consciousness, discernment, community-building, and skepticism of marketing claims about GLP-1s and “hedonic behavior.” They share summer fat-community resources and events, including fat swims/chunky dunks, Portland’s Fat Fest (June 28 2026), BIPOC Eating Disorder Conference (virtual, July 16–18 2026), and a Minneapolis in-person event on Body Trust in the Age of Ozempic (July 24 2026).

45. Survivorship and Body Trust With Christina Borel

CW: Sexual violence and trafficking. This episode includes discussion of sexual violence, including human trafficking. Please take gentle care of yourself if you choose to listen - we care about you and how this may impact you. On this episode of The Body Trust Podcast Hilary and Sirius invite Body Trust provider and therapist Christina Burrell to discuss survivorship. Christina discusses dissociation, compartmentalization, bodily autonomy, and the cultural context of Me Too. Christina describes running a small Body Trust foundations group for queer survivors and emphasizes explicit, consistent invitations that communicate “all of you is welcome here,” noting healing cannot be thought through alone and must connect to collective movement toward “the horizon of love.” 01:28 Christina’s Body Trust journey 06:59 Defining Survivorship 09:23 Reorienting Healing 12:27 Compartmentalization and Safety 17:49 Me Too and Visibility 19:25 From Rage to Action 32:07 From Individual to Collective Change 39:15 How to Support Survivors RESOURCES The Foundations of Body Trust [https://centerforbodytrust.com/foundations-of-body-trust/] : The Body Trust Framework [https://centerforbodytrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Body-Trust-Phases-Roots-with-Book.pdf] Reclaiming Body Trust:A Path to Liberation and Healing [https://share.google/LXKAPh7sSta3vqzrO] by Kinavey & Sturtevant Me, Too International [https://metoomvmt.org/] Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the birth of the Me, Too Movement [https://powells.com/book/unbound-my-story-of-liberation-and-the-birth-of-the-me-too-movement-9781250621733] by Tarana Burke Survivor Power with Tarana Burke [https://becomingthepeople.buzzsprout.com/1108100/episodes/18653975-survivor-power-with-tarana-burke] on Becoming the People Podcast with Prentis Hemphill adrienne marry brown and Sonya Renee Taylor on survivorship in these times [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVM2fmCAVZt/?igsh=c2Q5Mmd6Mm16aDls]Freedom & Desire Substack [https://freedomanddesire.substack.com/] by Sirius Bonner CHRISTINA BOREL Email: christina@kaleidoscope-growth.com Instagram: @kaleidoscopegrowth [https://www.instagram.com/kaleidoscopegrowth/]ANCHORING: Body Trust Practices for Survivors [https://www.kaleidoscope-growth.com/programs]www.kaleidoscope-growth.com [http://www.kaleidoscope-growth.com/] Are you tired of “weighting” to live your life?

44. Ethical Care Guidelines for GLP-1s: Body Autonomy, Informed Consent, and Anti-Fat Bias

On this episode of The Body Trust Podcast, Hilary, Sirius and Dana discuss the intentions behind their free ethical care guidelines for GLP-1 medications. They critique weight-centric healthcare, industry-influenced research, and an “ethics” focus limited to rationing and allocation rather than relational care, informed consent, and “do no harm.” Centering body autonomy, they stress that true consent requires unbiased information and freedom from coercion, including weight stigma and medical gaslighting. They highlight risks such as deaths, weight cycling, and inadequate eating-disorder screening, including concerns about people developing or worsening eating disorders on GLP-1s. They describe practical elements of weight-inclusive care, identify clinical red flags, and encourage patients and providers to use the guidelines to ask better questions while recognizing systemic anti-fat bias cannot be solved by individual weight loss.
