Episode 61: Anti-Fat Bias, Autism & Intersectionality with Zoe John-Kay

This convo has me thinking about how often we size up those we interact with, be it subconscious or intentional.

We talk gender identity, intersectionality, and autism; imagine the freedom that comes from approaching confusion with curiosity instead of trying to force compliance.

Curious what else is inside:

• What is anti-fat bias and why it's harmful for every body size

• How identity exploration can be approached gently

• Tune in for a powerful analogy for understanding communication differences between neurodivergent and neurotypical people

This episode might resonate if you:

• Have ever felt rejected and struggled to understand why

• Are exploring your identity, diagnosis, gender, sexuality, or place in the world

• Want a more compassionate framework for understanding yourself and others

In coaching, I attract people who feel pressure to "fix" themselves as quickly as possible.

They want certainty, a label, or a final answer.

But self-understanding is usually much messier than that.

If this feels like you, you do not need to have everything figured out today.

Practice makes progress.
