American Sex Podcast Episode 63: Meghan Tonjes - Love Your Body and Take No Sh*t
Body positive activist, musician, and Youtuber, Meghan Tonjes, tells us about the #BootyRevolution that her very first Instagram butt photo sparked. We also talk about the good and bad in the body positive community; middle school bullying; dealing with online haters; how we're all products of our past experiences and traumas; the importance of telling your loved ones how much they mean to you; and more.
Meghan teaches us why self-love and self-awareness are key, and how to self-advocate like a badass. Much of our conversation centers around a common theme: "If you’re committed to your bullshit, you’re going to feel my absence." That's sage advice for any relationship from marriages to online interactions with strangers. Meghan also shares the backstory of her short film #ADayForMargaret and tells a bonus story about a Tinder match gone wrong.
