Show Notes
In this episode we have an incredible conversation with Samantha Fox, she lifts the lid on how compulsory heterosexuality and compulsory femininity is so deeply ingrained in us and forms so much of our beliefs from a young age. She explains how curiosity and getting radically honest with who we really are allows us to break free from these systems of oppression.
There are so many parallels to anti-diet work because of how we find ourselves questioning the beliefs we have held for so long, we dive into all the ways in which this relates to diet recovery and body image work with the hope that our listeners can start to be curious about their own journey and their own lives and have the courage to break free from anything that stops you from becoming your authentic self.

Samantha Fox is a Sexuality Coach and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York. She has been in private practice since 2012, working with individuals and couples struggling with sexuality, sexual issues, coming out later in life, and intimacy. She pulls from various therapy models to work with clients, which supports my belief that one size doesn’t fit all. She is sought out by women coming out later in life who need help processing feelings of guilt and shame created by Compulsory Heterosexuality, as well as internalized homophobia and struggling to embrace and embody their authentic selves. To give women a safe space to explore, find and live their truth, and to create an embracing community for women around the globe questioning their sexuality or coming out later in life, she has built the Curious, Questioning, and Coming Out Programs.
