  95. You Can Do Everything Right and Still Get Breast Cancer with Jenna Werner

  Aug 19, 202655 minS1

  In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri talks with registered dietician and private practice founder Jenna Werner about body grief, body image, and self-trust after Jenna's recent breast cancer diagnosis. Jenna shares how a baseline mammogram required before a planned breast augmentation revealed stage zero DCIS that couldn't be felt, leading to a double mastectomy, reconstruction with expanders, lymph node testing, and ongoing discussions about estrogen-suppressing medication due to recurrence risk. She describes moving through the stages of grief, the loss of feeling "invincible," and the physical and emotional impact of scars, numbness, and fear, while emphasizing that health-promoting behaviors don't prevent illness and genetics can override "doing everything right." 06:35 From Diet Culture to Nutritionist 13:57 Healthy Yet Diagnosed 16:26 Mammogram Surprise Discovery 24:00 Treatment Decisions and Genetics 26:08 Body Grief After Mastectomy 30:41 Diagnosis Shock and Grief 32:27 Genetics vs Lifestyle Myths 38:34 Finding Meaning After Trauma 41:58 Rebuilding Body Trust 47:52 Listen to Your Symptoms EPISODE RESOURCES "What The Actual Fork?" episode 248: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/intimacy-dating-and-body-image-with-bri-campos/id1505223001?i=1000692194382 WANT MORE OF JENNA?

  Aug 5, 202651 minS1

  In this episode of The Body Grievers ® Club, Bri is joined by Dr. Danica Harris, a counseling psychologist turned somatic experiencing practitioner and co-owner of a trauma-informed group therapy practice, to explore how Pilates can support body-based healing, strength, and mobility. They discuss rebuilding a relationship with movement after burnout, chronic pain, hypermobility, and the pandemic, including grief around changing body size, lost privilege, and internalized ableism.

  93. Body Neutral with Jessi Kneeland

  Jul 22, 202658 minS1

  In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri interviews body image coach and "Body Neutral" author Jessi Kneeland about why body positivity and self-love often feel inaccessible and ignore social context, and how body neutrality focuses on moral neutrality by stripping false, inflated meaning from appearance. Using examples like having a zit, they discuss how body shame spirals come from learned beliefs about worth and failure, and how "health" is frequently used as a socially acceptable cover for body hatred, disordered eating, and orthorexic behaviors. They explore the head-to-heart disconnect, the survival brain's role, the impact of oppression and weight stigma, and how "diet hope" offers false security while body neutrality supports living life despite discomfort. 02:13 Zit Example and Identity 04:38 Orthorexia and Fitness Culture 08:31 Thought Experiments on Health 12:34 Food Shame and Healing 15:57 Moral vs Emotional Neutrality 24:08 Politics Systems and Dissonance 27:47 Head to Heart Disconnect 30:32 False Safety of Thinness 31:34 Patriarchy and Slenderness Trap 33:23 Signs of Body Neutrality 44:41 Beauty Standards and Power 45:41 Complicity and Conscious Choices WANT MORE OF JESSI? *Buy her book!

  92. Body Confidence Has Nothing To Do With Your Body

  Jul 8, 202630 minS1

  In this episode of The Body Grievers® Club, Bri challenges the idea that confidence comes simply from "doing the thing," arguing that without thought awareness and body connection, change won't stick. She reframes confidence as self-assurance: not the absence of discomfort. Brie shares her history with dieting, bariatric surgery at 19, and the ongoing body image pain that persisted even at a smaller size, leading to a 2015 breaking point to start living her life. She discusses dating fears, fetishization, and values alignment. 03:59 Health And Weight Loss Trap 05:18 Bariatric Surgery Reality 09:07 Breaking Point In 2015 12:11 Dating Fear And Fat Bias 14:40 Self Assurance Framework 15:04 Step One Self Talk Audit 15:41 Step Two Values Reality Test 17:16 Step Three Cement Chair Confidence 21:24 Step Four Trauma Informed Exposure 25:41 Living With Ongoing Body Grief EPISODE RESOURCES Episode 21: Bri's Body Image Breaking Point WANT MORE OF BRI? *Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri *Website: https://bodyimagewithbri.com/ *Bri's Free Resource: 7-Step Guide to Shift Body Grief to Radical Body Acceptance https://www.bodyimagewithbri.com/seven-steps

  91. Body Trust, Weight-Inclusive Fitness, and Intersectionality with Ashantis Jones

  Jun 17, 20261h 1mS1

  In this episode of The Body GrieversⓇ Club, Bri interviews Ashantis Jones, a counselor and ASM-certified personal trainer, about healing body image and movement through an intersectional, weight-inclusive lens. Ashantis shares how her eating disorder recovery, later neurodivergence diagnoses (ADHD/autism traits and ARFID), and experience with fibromyalgia shaped her approach to care, emphasizing that diagnoses can be useful but aren't always required to provide support. They discuss body positivity as a social justice movement, how privilege and systemic oppression—including racism, fatphobia, ableism, and capitalism—shape access to care and eating disorder treatment, and why decolonizing mental health matters. Ashantis explains that weight-inclusive fitness can look the same as weight-centric training, but focuses on functional goals, accommodations, rest, and building body trust rather than weight loss. 06:38 Recovery Origin Story 11:47 Eating Disorder Realizations 13:19 ARFID ADHD Nuance 15:58 Diagnoses And Shame 19:34 Intersectionality Basics 24:10 Decolonizing Mental Health 31:02 Defensiveness And Learning 32:26 Learning Beyond Your Bubble 33:12 Pandemic Backlash and Diet Culture 40:12 Movement as Body Trust 42:45 Chronic Illness and Ableism Realities 56:13 Read Books Not Hot Takes WANT MORE OF ASHANTIS? https://www.ashantisjones.com/ https://www.patreon.com/bodykindnutrition/about WANT MORE OF BRI? *Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri *Website: https://bodyimagewithbri.com/ *Bri's Free Resource: 7-Step Guide to Shift Body Grief to Radical Body Acceptance
