Gia ponders having a ho phase and Christine shares cautionary tales of her own ho phase. 

In this episode we talk to the woman who brought us together, Dr. Kori Jennings! We talk about health and wellness in terms of body image in opera, trauma, and chronic illness. Don't worry, we laugh a lot too!

If you want to take lessons from the best:

It's a smorgasbord of thoughts and feelings on being the "good fatty," working on body neutrality, and allowing fat rage to shine.  

Today we talk about Greta's masterpiece and what it means for diversity on all fronts, the patriarchy, misogyny, feminism, and equality. 

here we go.... we have to talk about the lawsuit brought against Lizzo from three of her former Big Grrls backup dancers. 

You deserve to be here and to take up as much space as you want! Let's get that confidence, and more importantly, courage going and be THAT bitch! 

*Please note: this episode was recorded prior to the lawsuit being brought against Lizzo. We have complicated feelings about this that we will discuss in another episode.

We have our first guest, Michaela Putala (@food.peace.nutritionist), joining us to talk about intuitive eating and food freedom. She is a Registered Dietician who works with clients (including Christine) who want to be free from the reigns of diet culture, disordered eating, and body distress. 

Let's talk about the gym.... and EVERYTHING that comes with that.

We are talking about social media and how you are damned if you do, damned if you don't. Gia talks about existing on social media and Christine wonders if her social media days are done.

We're dissecting the insidiousness of diet culture and laying out the facts about how diets don't work in the long term.
