The Early 2000s Were Tough On Body Acceptance

We can all agree that the early aughts did not make body acceptance easy. Remy and Emily share a DST listener’s Glamour article (shoutout Michelle), all about this topic and how the early 2000s fostered body image issues. Emily brings up that v problematic Paris Hilton book (you know, the one that recommends clubbing to dance away calories), which leads into a convo about how pop culture and TV glamorize thinness. Re: Gilmore Girls and the infamous Kim Kardashian and Marilyn Monroe dress situation. Then onto a listener-submitted Dear DST about traveling to warmer places in the winter, being with in-laws for the holidays, and the body image struggles that come with. Remy and Emily relate to the struggle and share some advice on how to set boundaries.
