The Stories We Were Sold About Our Bodies: Lu Chekowsky on Body Image and Reclaiming Your Voice
<p>In this episode of <i>Feed the Matriarchy</i>, we sit down with writer, Emmy Award-winning creative director, and author Lu Chekowsky (she/they) to explore the powerful intersection of advertising, body image, capitalism, and self-worth. Drawing from her years inside the advertising industry and the experiences chronicled in her memoir, <i>Don't Buy What I'm Selling: On Breaking Up with Advertising and Finally Learning to Love My Whole, Fat Self</i>, Lu pulls back the curtain on the messages women receive about their bodies and the systems that profit from our insecurities. Together, they discuss the monetization of shame, the cultural pressures that keep women disconnected from themselves, the relationship between grief and embodiment, and the radical act of learning to trust your own voice. </p><p></p><p>This conversation is a thoughtful, funny, and eye-opening examination of what happens when we stop buying what we've been sold and start defining freedom on our own terms.</p><p></p><p>To Purchase: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/lu-chekowsky/dont-buy-what-im-selling/9780316588515/?lens=little-brown" target="_blank">https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/lu-chekowsky/dont-buy-what-im-selling/9780316588515/?lens=little-brown</a></p>
