Anonymously Share Your Body Image Story
Be a part of Continued Conversations without having to share who you are - sometimes anonymity can allow space for vulnerability ◡̈
Now that my own personal excitement for the “What’s Your Favorite Thing…” series has subsided… I thought, why not introduce the next leg of this platform?
Say hello to:
Continued Conversations: Anonymous Body Image Stories
In continuing the body image conversation through intimate, recorded, one-on-one chats, I’ve had some express their desire to share their story without publicly being tied to it. And so, I created Continued Conversations: Anonymous Body Image Stories!
HOW WILL THIS WORK?
It’s a fairly simple process: Fill out this form!
Please feel free to include as much or as little of your story as you’d like. It’s up to you what information you feel comfortable sharing.
I’ll then take the information you provide on the form and share it in a Substack post. It will be a direct share from whatever you choose to enter into the form.
Does it have to be anonymous? No! If you’d like to include your name, please do. If you’d like to remain anonymous, that is welcome too. This is meant to be just another way to continue the body image conversation on this platform.
I want to offer those who may not want to be publicly tied to their stories, a platform to still share and impact our audience without having to divulge so much of themselves online.
HOW WILL THIS CHANGE CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS ON SUBSTACK?
Don’t worry, I’ll still be sharng one post per week (minimum) with you! These will include…
My bi-weekly recorded conversation about body image
A recap of the “What’s Your Favorite Thing About Your Body?” series in my community
An anonymous body image story share online
From time to time, a personal essay about my own experience in my own body
It’s my goal to turn this space into a little corner of the internet where the conversation about body image is being continued in various ways - one-on-one, in my community, anonymously, through myself - by a wide collective of human beings. I believe this conversation must include a multitude of perspectives and lived experiences.
HOW TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD?
Please, please, please share this with your friends, your family, anyone you think might be interested in sharing their body image story in this way, on this forum.
While I will be verbally telling people, in my life and online, about this addition to Continued Conversations, this project has spread by word of mouth so far, and I’d love to continue to be connected with people that way as well. I would be so grateful if you’d share with anyone you think will be willing to respond.
Thank you for being here, and I’m excited to keep continuing conversations about body image with all of you!
In body healing,
Megan ❤️🔥
Do you have a friend, family member or peer who might love this too? I’d be honored if you could help me spread the word about my writing and body image conversations!
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 healthcare providers.
