Because of the health week, we wanted to dive into a health related topic with the 6th podcast of this season. Therefore we chose Body Positivity. What is this term and where does it originate from? And also, is it effective in its purpose? To find out, listen to this week’s show of the Let’s talk about X podcast!

In a conversation with dr. Linda Duits, affiliate professor at the University of Utrecht and founder of the Knowledge Centre DIEP, where it is all about pop culture, we dive deeper into the topic of Body Positivity. We want to know what the origins are and what it really means.

People usually have an opinion on it, being positive or negative. Some people see it as something really good, empowering people to be positive about their body. Linda however would rather see it as the body acceptance movement, since you do not always have to be positive about your body and that is also okay. It is best to acknowledge that everyone has their own insecurities, which is totally fine. Linda also provides you with an unexpected piece of advice. Listen to find out!
