55. What Does It Really Mean to Be Embodied?

Written by:
On this episode Hilary, Dana, and Sirius discuss what it really means to be “embodied,” aiming to rescue the term from being used as a prescriptive “should”. They frame embodiment as a quality of presence and a spectrum of positive to negative experiences, not a 24/7 state, and connect disembodiment to dominant culture, control, and mistrust of bodily knowing, including diet culture and objectification. Drawing on Niva Piran’s research, they outline five dimensions of embodiment, highlighting how social location shapes embodiment and how equitable community and affinity spaces support reconnection.
