Changing the Conversation on Body Shaming and Disabilities
IN THIS EPISODE: Body shaming: it’s something many of us are no stranger to and for some of us, it starts at a very young age and can have a serious or life-threatening impact on our well-being. For individuals with disabilities – where many of us already have very little control over our bodies – it can be a double punch. Jackie and Mizz Sarah welcome returning guest Nikki Crowe as well as the CNIB’s Keya Osborne to discuss how size shaming impacted their respective journeys dealing with breast cancer and vision loss. The panel touches on some of the cultural origins of fat stigma, the differences between that and skinny shaming, and how medical professionals can better connect to people living with eating disorders and body dysmorphia.
Please note this episode discusses eating disorders and may be triggering to some individuals.

FORMULA vs BREASTFEEDING: Choices for Differently-Abled Parents
IN THIS EPISODE: Deciding how to feed your baby – and the process of feeding them – is never easy. Add a disability into the mix and that can bring challenges that able-bodied individuals may never encounter throughout their parenting journey. Jackie and Mizz Sarah speak with Mallory Whitmore AKA @theformulamom about choice when it comes to infant feeding and how the push towards breastfeeding can be harmful for some women and their families. Mallory, who lives with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), also shares why it’s important for parents of different abilities to have options when it comes to giving birth, and how hospitals and other medical professionals can better meet the needs of their patients throughout the pregnancy and postpartum months.
