Two high school teachers discuss living in the patriarchy, life and work, mental health, personal growth and being positive role models for their students.
Each season Jen & Elaina will take a deep dive into a different book, to learn, to discuss and to grow. In the first season of You Sow What You Hope To Reap, they read and discuss Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski (PhD) and Amelia Nagoski (DMA).
In the second season (released May 2024), they dive into Brene Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection.
We’re back (!!!) with chapter five of Kate Manne’s Unshrinking: The Logic of Fatphobia. As a caution and heads up for our listeners, this chapter deals explicitly with sexual fatphobia. As such, some of the content may not be suitable or feel comfortable at this time. Please take care of your heart and make the choice that is right for you before listening.
In this episode, Jen and Elaina reflect on how fat bodies are marginalized, degraded and vulnerable to sexual predation. It was a tough read and tough conversations to have, but we believe in the importance of bringing these issues out of the dark in the hopes of inspiring awareness, vulnerable conversations, and social change.

Chapter Four: Demoralizing Fatness
In this episode, we read, analyze, and chat about how society inaccurately conflates morality and fatness. Kate presents some problems with this comparison and the implications for people of varying body size and shape. We reflect on some current events / issues, media representations, the role of capitalism and... the patriarchy. Ew.

Chapter Three: Venus in Retrograde
This chapter delves into some of the history about body image and digs into where and when "fatness fell out of favour". There is some historical information and modern statistics and research. Kate's candid discussion of fatphobia's roots in racism is sobering.
Take a deep breath, babes. This is a tough one.
