Why it is vital for us to combat sizeism within our movement and liberate ourselves from oppressive mentalities. How we can overcome our body image issues and fear of being judged for our bodies, to focus on being powerful activists for animals. How to handle anti-vegan body-shaming trolls. Jasmin explains her definition of healthy and how it has evolved to encompass how she feels, as much as how she looks. Jasmin shares advice on how to love your body through each chapter of life. Loving yourself and animals: we discuss the challenge of balancing one’s personal and public callings, making time for self care as well as showing up for animals.
