Victoria Welsby is a body image activist, adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia, TEDx speaker, and the author of "Fierce Fatty: Love Your Body And Live Like The Queen You Already Are!"

Victoria guides people towards falling in love with themselves and eating intuitively. Further, she is fiercely dedicated to changing the way society views fat bodies. In this episode, Victoria shares the story of how her mindset shifted from feeling that she just had to lose weight to knowing that it was absolutely okay to be fat. She also unpacks the way society measures self-worth, and discusses why and when to set boundaries in personal relationships.
