In this poignant time in history, Sara Cate & Ashley wanted to spend some time acknowledging the collective hurt that comes from the threat of losing agency over your body. Their conversation around what body agency means is meant to be a beacon of hope, of connection, of understanding. Their passion around the subject is palpable in this important conversation.
Body agency is the undisputed ownership of your body, mind, and spirit. In this session, they discuss in depth what body agency is, how you can start to explore it, and where you can go for support. Body agency is your right, simply because you were born. Unfortunately, in our current society we are not given the tools we need to claim our agency but Sara Cate & Ashley are determined to open a space for change.
