Internalized patriarchy and feminism leads to body positivity journey through painting with Beth Knight

  • Summary

  • On paper, Beth Knight was incredibly successful. She was an ex-pat living in London, working a tech job, and making excellent money. Her job and income gave her prestige. It really was the kind of life that our culture tells us is exactly the life we should all strive for and that will make us HAPPY! Success! Money! Instead...in her own words, "I was dying inside. I just hated myself."

    When COVID hit, she was forced to sit still for the first time in her life--and the self-reflection that came with that changed everything. She enrolled in coaching programs and got into therapy. A graduate from art school, Beth picked up her brushes and paint and started to paint the truth of who she is.

    It started with a painting of her crying--not just any crying, but the deep deep crying of a breakdown. She shared it on instagram--a place that she had always used to show people how busy she was and all the cool things she was doing. This was her, raw, and vulnerable. And people loved it. And that opened a door for her to walk through as she continued her personal journey. I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and hear the rest of her incredible story!!

    If you're heading to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh she will be there with her show, Who Told You to Be Small.
