In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

This is a free preview of a bonus episode . You can hear the full conversation when you upgrade to paid on Patreon: www.patreon.com/fullplate In this episode, Abbie sits down with Elizabeth, a long-time listener and passionate reader and baker, to discuss her journey through recovery, how neurodivergence plays a role in EDs, the challenges of unlearning diet culture, and the role of perfectionism in both disordered eating and healing. Elizabeth shares her personal experiences with treatment, the pressure to “get away with” restrictive behaviors, reclaiming baking from diet culture, and how she ultimately found a more compassionate approach to food, body image, and self-care. Together, they explore the complexities of weight in eating disorder recovery, the importance of informed consent in treatment, and the difficulty of navigating societal messages around weight and health. Elizabeth also opens up about the strategies that have helped her the most—including distraction, grounding activities, and reconnecting with joyful movement and baking.

#153: The Great Protein Debate and Nutrition Through Menopause with Dr. Jenn Huber, RD / ND 37:48

27 днів тому37:48

37:48

Dr. Jenn Huber joins us to talk all about protein and how to approach eating with menopause in mind (hint, it’s not as scary as you’ve been led to believe!). It seems like every day, diet culture finds a new way to make us feel guilty for our bodies changing. It’s not news that women in menopause are a group preyed on by diet culture, but lately this pressure has been heavily centered around protein. We hear it in the news, on social media, and in advertising: How much is enough? Can eating a lot of protein support aging? If you find yourself unsure about how to feel about the messaging you’re seeing around protein, this episode is for you. We get into the small truths that people extrapolate to make false claims, the pressure women feel to eat in unrealistic ways, and the importance of satisfaction when making meal decisions. Listen to hear more about: The food on Jenn’s plate Facts and myths about protein The truth about aging and protein needs A three-pronged stool analogy for eating What happens if we make meals without protein (gasp) Whether protein timing is something to worry about Downsides to eating too much protein Malnutrition regarding other vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients Why all the macronutrients need to work together The difference between looking strong and feeling strong How satisfaction can help us build our meals Letting food be flexible and forgiving Helpful insights into what to prioritize with your nutrition in mid-life If you’re feeling overwhelmed or confused on how much is really needed for nourishment, you’re not alone. This episode should hopefully make you feel a lot more confident in trusting your body to tell you what it needs, and help you to shed any guilt or confusion you feel when you hear influencers try to convince you that protein is the magic elixir to aging. More About Jenn: Dr. Jenn Salib Huber is a Canadian Registered Dietitian, Naturopathic Doctor, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and she's on a mission to help women manage menopause without diets and food rules. She helps women navigate the physical and emotional changes that happen in perimenopause and menopause, including their search for food freedom and body confidence. Working from a health at every size approach, she teaches women to become intuitive eaters and build body confidence at any stage of midlife. In addition to her 1:1 and small group programs, she's the host of 'The Midlife Feast' podcast and community that helps women "undiet" their lives after 40 so they can nourish a relationship with food that helps them discover the magic of midlife!

#152: Life After Weight Loss Surgery, Finding True Self-Acceptance, and Healing from Over-Exercising with Kimberly Richardson 1:05:26

5 weeks тому1:05:26

1:05:26

In this week's VERY special episode, we are joined by Abbie's client, Kimberly. She speaks from the heart in bravely sharing her body story — from childhood adversity and weight stigma, to the decision to get weight loss surgery, to dealing with the aftermath of that experience, to learning how to create real safety and belonging in her life. Kimberly has magnetic energy, and is an example of why vulnerability is true courage and strength. She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk, and is a beautiful example of what it looks like to move from constantly seeking external validation to learning to trust our innate worthiness. Tune in to hear more about… Kimberly’s journey from seeking external validation through weight loss to finding internal trust and self-acceptance. Her decision to get weight-loss surgery and what she wishes she knew back then. The severe physical, mental, and emotional side effects of the surgery. Why Kimberly wanted to get the surgery reversed. Setting firm boundaries with family as an act of self-respect. The difficulty of rebuilding a healthy relationship with movement after experiencing trauma and disordered behaviors. How to reconnect with movement in a positive way. Overcoming avoidance and old rules to embrace a more compassionate approach to food and exercise. The role of a supportive coach in creating a safe space for healing and growth in movement and self-respect. Navigating a world that is still steeped in bias, even when you are working to free yourself. Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

6 weeks тому56:53

56:53

Therapists Ashley Wilfore and Sarah Louer know what it's like to have dieting and body shame passed down to you like a family heirloom. We discuss what it means to experience intergenerational trauma, how disordered eating and body hatred get inherited and perpetuated through family values and behaviors, and what it's like to grow up surrounded by diet culture in your home. Ashley and Sarah and speak with honesty, compassion, and humor about their experiences letting go of the pursuit of thinness, and trying to raise their own children while being cycle-breakers. Tune in to hear more about: What’s on their plates (hint: foods to eat when you're sick, and an ode to eggplant...) A clinical and personal definition of “intergenerational trauma” Being impacted by generational passing down of dieting and body shame How the idea that starving yourself is power has been believed by their family members who were otherwise independent-minded and strong Specific moments and vivid memories from childhood that form beliefs today Overhearing the women they looked up to talking about their own bodies The moments they realized they couldn’t keep dieting and over-exercising The intentional decisions they made as mothers How they handle their parents' anti-fat bias today SO much more!! A final gentle note before you listen: If you are reading this right now as a mom, and you feel like this has been both something you both experienced from your mother as well as something you've been afraid of passing on to your children…know this: our conversation is for you, not about you.

#150: Medical Care Without Weight Stigma with Size-Inclusive Physician, Dr. Mara Gordon 52:29

7 weeks тому52:29

52:29

The first 45 minutes of this conversation are FREE! Listen to the extended version of this episode when you subscribe to Patreon here . (or go to: www.patreon.com/fullplate ) Dr. Mara Gordon joins the pod to share what it means to be a size-inclusive physician and why it’s time to rethink weight in medicine. We discuss why it’s harmful to center medical care on a patient’s weight, the stigma and negative health consequences of medical providers prescribing intentional weight loss, how to advocate for yourself with your physician, declining to be weighed at the doctor's, why BMI is so problematic, caring for and treating diagnoses without weight loss, and her thoughts on the GLP-1 hype. Mara also opens up about what she regrets as a physician prior to finding fat-positive medicine, and how she came to see the harms of anti-fat bias and diet culture more broadly. In the EXTENDED version (a bonus episode that you can find at www.patreon.com/fullplate ), Mara answers questions about: her concerns about GLP-1s like Ozempic, and what we can do to think about them differently how larger bodied humans can advocate for themselves at the doctor’s office without giving the unwritten message that they're “noncompliant” or don't care about their health how to deal with being told weight loss will help a specific health condition (like diabetes, joint pain, sleep apnea) why folks in larger bodies need to receive the same treatments offered to thin-bodied folks how “obesity” as a pathological condition has its roots in the pharmaceutical industry, and it started in the 90s More about Dr. Mara Gordon: Dr. Gordon is a family physician and writer based in Philadelphia. She worked in public health in Tanzania and Malawi before returning to the Philadelphia area to attend medical school at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was awarded the Zervanos Family Medicine Award for a medical student going into family medicine.

#149: “Restriction Just Isn’t An Option Anymore”: Shira Rosenbluth on Being a Plus-Size Bride, Recovery in a Fat Body, and Harm Reduction with GLP-1s 54:09

8 weeks тому54:09

54:09

Shira Rosenbluth , LCSW, returns to discuss what it means to live a full life in a fat body. She catches us up on eating disorder recovery (two years after her first time on the pod), coming out as queer, how her relationship with her fiance has impacted her body image, planning a wedding as a plus-size bride, and what it's felt like to witness the constant chatter of GLP-1s while recovering from a life-long eating disorder. Last time she was on the pod, we spoke about her experience with atypical anorexia and quasi- recovery. Now, two years later, we hear about how her recovery has solidified, why restriction is no longer an option for her, and what has helped her stay firm in that place -- despite the negative thoughts and noise from diet culture. Listen to hear more about: What’s on Shira’s plate How her recovery has been going since the last time she was on the pod Why lab values are not always a good indicator of how sick you are Realizing that restrictive behaviors no longer serve her How her relationship with her fiance has changed her view on restriction Why creating a life outside of eating disorder behaviors is just as important as stopping the behaviors themselves Why being nourished enables room for reliance in other aspects of life Her experience coming out as queer and living authentically herself That people in all sized bodies find love, and thinness is not a prerequisite for finding a loving relationship How recovery is full of ups and downs and is not always blissful Planning for a wedding in a larger body Making sure you utilize resources to support you navigating recovery The impact of Ozempic on eating disorder recovery So much more! Shira Rosenbluth, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker treating clients in New York and California. She specializes in the treatment of disordered eating, eating disorders, and body-image dissatisfaction using a weight-neutral approach. She’s also the author of a popular body positive blog and has been featured in The New York Times, Insider, The Cut, The Everygirl, InStyle, and Healthline.

#147: Health Anxiety, Coping with Uncertainty, and How Diet Culture Impacts Our Mental Health with Dr. Diana Gordon 1:21:57

10 weeks тому1:21:57

1:21:57

We're revisiting this conversation with Dr. Diana Gordon, and it's everything. Big picture, Abbie and Diana discuss how to approach mental health in a sea of diet and wellness misinformation -- including whether or not movement and nutrition have a meaningful impact on anxiety and depression.

Author and podcaster Mary Jelkovsky ( @maryscupofteaa ) joins us to share her journey about the harms and toxicity of becoming a fitness influencer, how fitness culture pushed her further into an eating disorder, and how she's healed from the damage to her sense of self. We also get into self-love versus self-compassion, confidence versus self-worth, healing from comparison, and why it's so stressful to worry about what other people think of your body. "I prided myself on being this person who didn't give a shit what anybody thought of her. I was doing this food and body stuff for me and my own health and fitness and whatever. Then I was called out in a compassionate way, and saw that I was obsessed with how others viewed me." - Mary Jelkovsy, Full Plate episode #145 Listen to hear more about: What’s been on Mary's plate (food, travel, movement) Her early experiences as a body builder How being a teenage fitness influencer effected her relationship with her body Developing an eating disorder, hidden in plain sight The dangers of too much protein How fitness culture praises disordered eating behaviors Why changing environments can help us find room to heal Letting our love for others guide our way to loving ourselves Fighting the patriarchy without fighting our husbands Self-love as self-compassion, self-worth, and self-esteem Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

#144: Rethinking ARFID as Neurodivergence and Raising "Picky Eaters" with Kevin Green (of @kevindoesarfid) 1:03:55

Were you labeled a "picky eater" growing up? Or are you raising a child with sensory preferences, feeding differences, or neurodivergence? In this episode, we’re diving deep into Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), its connection to neurodivergence, and the misconceptions surrounding so-called “picky eaters.” We also discuss the intense pressure parents face from diet culture and social media, the impact of disembodying feeding practices on kids, and why “normal” eating doesn’t exist. You'll hear more about... what is ARFID and how is it diagnosed? the three main subtypes of ARFID Kevin's lived experience with ARFID and autism Abbie's similar experiences with OCD and an eating disorder how neurodivergent experiences like autism and trauma intersect with eating challenges why hiding veggies in your kids' food is probably not a great idea (and might be causing harm) sensory sensitivity, fear of aversive consequences, and lack of interest in food compassionate insights for parents normalizing the challenges of feeding neurodivergent children why ARFID is not a parenting failure how we can better understand our own eating patterns holding space for the importance of curiosity and respect how to create a safe environment for exploration with food Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or curious about ARFID and food autonomy, this conversation offers validation, nuance, and radical reframing of what it means to nurture a truly embodied relationship with food.
