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).

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.”
