Imagine a world where body size doesn't matter? Where everyone feels like they belong. Where we can all show up, exactly as we are, where we can thrive and reach our full potential? For people who are fat, curvy, or plus-size - a world like this simply does not exist. How can we create a world where fat and plus-size people feel safe to be our best? I’m Andrea Westbrook and this is the question I set out to answer with the Curvy Culture podcast. Grab your favourite drink, put your earphones in, find somewhere cosy and join me each fortnight as I chat all things related to being fat!

episode 1: 1. What are Fatphobia, Weight Stigma and Diet Culture?
Welcome to Episode 1 of the Curvy Culture Podcast!
I’m Andrea Westbrook and my mission is to create a world where everyone feels like they belong regardless of their body size.
With a mix of solo episodes and amazing guest interviews, my aim is to help you start meaningful conversations about size inclusivity, to influence change within your business or workplace so that we can create more size-inclusive environments.
As this is the first episode of the Curvy Culture podcast I thought it would be useful to introduce you to a few key terms that I use throughout the course of my work, why I believe we need to have this conversation and, of course, I’ll sprinkle in some of my experiences….just for you!
In this episode, I share with you:
· What exactly is fatphobia /weight stigma / anti-fat bias / fatphobia and diet-culture.
· How diet culture impacted my life from a young age, and
· Three things you can do to lessen the impact that diet culture has on you!
