Why does being skinny still get treated like the ultimate achievement? In this episode, we unpack the cultural obsession with thinness and the mental health costs that come with it. From compliment culture (“Wow, you’ve lost weight!”) to weight stigma in healthcare, workplaces, and even dating, we explore how body size shapes self-worth, relationships, and the way we’re treated.

We’ll talk about how shows like Love Island USA amplify thin privilege, why weight stigma can be more damaging than weight itself, and how shifting the conversation can help us all build healthier relationships with our bodies.

✨ Whether you’ve struggled with body image, felt dismissed because of your size, or just want to better understand weight bias, this episode will challenge the way you think about health, beauty, and value.
