A Conversation About "Radical Belonging" & Authenticity w/ Best-Selling Author, Dr. Lindo Bacon: Fostering a World Where ALL Bodies are Accepted!
Episode description
This week we got to sit down with best-selling Author, Speaker & Scientist, Dr. Lindo Bacon!
In this episode we discuss:
- Lindo's upbringing as a girl who didn't connect with the idea of femininity (even though that's what their parents wanted for them)!
-The touching story that led to legally changing their name to Lindo
- Why referring to someone with the proper personal pronoun is so important
- How marginalized communities are treated because they don't fit into their assigned gender and why this needs to change ASAP
-A conversation around why it's easier to be your authentic self when the outside world tells you it has value
-Why representation in society is KEY and the importance of getting to know people with viewpoints and experiences outside of your own!
- Lindo's personal experience struggling with body acceptance and the cultural expectations of what we should look like
& much more!
While you listen to this episode, we encourage you to reflect on some of the cultural messages you received growing up and how they impacted your own life or maybe even the way you treated others because of it!
