23. Discussing Taboo Topics: Sex, Masturbation, And Shame Around Weight Loss with Jessi Jean

DEATS with Deanna: Discussions around Food & Entrepreneurship

As women, there are a lot of taboo topics for us. One of them being the shame of overeating or binge eating, shame around our bodies and our weight, and even shame of wanting to have body autonomy. This restriction flows into other areas of conversation that today’s guest is familiar with.

In today’s episode, I talk to Jessi Jean. She is well versed when it comes to dealing with shame and discussing taboo topics. Having overcome binge eating and overeating, Jessie is now a confident woman whose focus is on helping elevate other women talk about anything and everything they want.
