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

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.     During our conversation, Jessi Jean talks about her experience embarking on a confidence journey as an adult. She shares why transparency and discussing taboo topics is important, how she projected her own body image issues onto her husband and how improving it has improved her own sex life.   In this episode, we cover: Jessi explains how she started her confidence journey [3:22] Why you need to talk about what is happening rather than hide it [11:07] Projecting disordered eating onto your partner and how to overcome it [16:13] Body image, diet culture and sex [27:17] Spicing up your sex life and being open about receiving pleasure [34:18] The individual right to body autonomy [49:49]   Connect with Jessi Website: www.risewithmeco.com Email: conquerbingeeating@gmail.com IG + Tik Tok: @jessijeannn Connect with Deanna: IG: @dietitiandeanna Website: https://dietitiandeanna.com  This episode is sponsored by This episode is sponsored by Food Freedom Breakthrough, my three month transformative online group coaching program.
