What if some of what we experience as body image distress is actually grief? In this episode, we're joined by Bri Campos of Body Image With Bri and Cilla Moore-Massey for a conversation about body grief, body image, trauma, and what it means to build a different relationship with your body in a culture obsessed with appearance.

We explore the many ways body grief can show up—including grieving changes in our bodies, identities, abilities, or the ways we once moved through the world. We also unpack why body image is about much more than whether you like what you see in the mirror.

We talk about radical body acceptance, self-trust, somatic and embodiment work, systemic oppression, fatphobia, and the complicated process of taking up space in a world that often tells us to make ourselves smaller.

• What body grief is and the different ways it can show up
