Welcome to episode 5 of the Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD podcast! This week I talk with Chryssa Tsakiris, founder of Well Collab Acupuncture and Proof of Life. I had so many chills during this conversation. We go deep, examining how the umbrella of patriarchy, which includes misogyny, racism, agism and capitalism, influences how we nourish ourselves.
We talk about this structure of conditioning, and how we can begin to get out of it to reclaim our sovereignty and freedom as humans and as eaters. Chryssa explains how the simple act of being embodied—of being fully in our bodies—can be a powerful tool for resistance. As she says, “If you’re not in your body, patriarchy will be.” And this goes for both women and men.
This conversation is not only going to inspire and empower you, but also provide you with a bit of much needed grace—removing the blame we misguidedly put upon ourselves, and offering you real tools for finding your authentic expression within a culture that often tries to suppress it.
You can listen to the podcast right here, or, better yet, subscribe to the podcast in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Please drop me a comment if you give it a listen, and if it resonates with you, share it with your people or rate it in your podcast app—it goes a long way in supporting this work!
