The Culture Of It All
Your anti-diet sidekick and go-to resource as we explore what it really means to ditch diet culture whilst living life in a larger body. Your host, Melanie Knights will be sharing stories, busting diet culture myths, and breaking through the bullshit of the $72 billion diet industry.
Discussing topics such as anti-fatness, body liberation, body positivity, media representation, and intuitive eating. We will create a foundation for bodily autonomy, and take actionable steps to advocate for, and honour our own needs so that we can take up space, challenge weight stigma, and live a more confident, comfortable and joyful fat life!
The Culture Of It All
TRAILER: Summer Series
Our Summer Series Starts May 28th!
There are many negative anti-fat stereotypes associated with the summer; from sweat, and thigh chafe to wearing weather appropriate clothing or having skin showing…
I am a cold weather person to my soul, and whilst I’m dreaming of pumpkins, cosy socks and apple cider in June – I cannot control the weather. The summer isn’t going anywhere, and it’s probably going to get hotter.
So whilst I reserve the right to be vocal about my discomfort when it’s as hot as satan's asshole, I REFUSE to feel ashamed for being a hot, sweaty fat person this summer… I decided I’m going to take back the summer. Reclaim it. And even if I don’t enjoy it, I want to make it as comfortable as possible for me, and for you too.
I know firsthand how uncomfortable it is during hot weather in a larger body, not just the physical discomfort, the mental discomfort too. Over the past year I have been testing out products, and mentally preparing myself for summer 2024.
Personal hygiene, self care and unsexy products are rarely discussed in relation to larger bodies, so over the next 3 months I’ll be sharing it all with you from my body acceptance and self advocacy journey to my favourite products and routines.
So are you ready to challenge the Culture Of It All this summer?
