Everyone, please welcome Cami Codell to Let’s Talk About Bodies! (formerly Continued Conversations)! Cami and I met doing theatre in Chicago back in 2015, and so, this conversation was such a beautiful point of reconnection for the both of us. We’d recently discovered that we were doing similar work in the body image space - Cami, a trauma-informed therapeutic yoga teacher focusing on the body, and I a body image advocate talking about bodies in a helpful (not hurtful) way. And it was just such a wonderful experience for us to share in this conversation about this topic having both come from the same creative world. We discuss a multitude of heavy, yet extremely important topics when it comes to our bodies, culture, and mental illness - some involving the arts as well. Again, please take care of yourself as you listen through ♥️
Before we dive in, I was on Cami’s 3 OMs podcast this summer. Check out our episode here!
Cami’s energy is overwhelmingly infectious, and she is just an insanely impressive wealth of knowledge when it comes to body work. She drops some tough statistics to hear and uncovers a few somewhat taboo topics of conversation when it comes to our bodies. She is such a light in this world, and I am so glad she is doing the work she’s doing - it’s very much needed, especially in the movement space. I was deeply moved by my conversation with Cami, and I cannot wait for you to hear it for yourself!
Trigger Warning: in our conversation, we discuss themes of diet culture, eating disorders, death, body image, disordered eating, statistics involving eating disorders, and disordered movement patterns. Please, please, please take care of yourselves as you listen and avoid if these topics might be triggering for you.

(While I’m not a licensed therapist, registered dietician, or medical health professional and cannot speak to body image topics from a clinical, trauma-informed place, I am an expert of lived experience. I’m an academic of my own body, and I’m passionate about facilitating conversations with other humans about their relationships with their bodies. I believe it’s important to continue conversations about healthy body image in creative spaces as a means to heal individuals as well as the collective whole. But just know the information presented in this medium is not professional mental health advice or medical advice, and any questions or concerns you have should always be directed to your health providers.)
