In this episode of A Splash More, Hayley and Bailey sit down with Phaith Montoya — creator, speaker, and advocate for expanding representation within the plus-size community.

Known for her beauty, fashion, and lifestyle content, Phaith has built a platform rooted in authenticity, using her voice to challenge outdated beauty standards while encouraging more open conversations around body confidence and mental health. A former educator, NAMI brand ambassador, and participant in CBS’s Survivor Influencer Experience, she brings both insight and lived experience to the conversation.

Together, Hayley, Bailey, and Phaith explore the generational shift happening around body image — including the long-standing pressure many women grew up with to “chase skinny,” and how younger generations are beginning to question that narrative entirely.

Throughout the conversation, Phaith reflects on what she hopes people take away from her work: the reminder that our joy and sense of worth were never meant to be measured by numbers — whether it’s the number on a scale, the balance in a bank account, the likes on a post, or the grade on a test.

It’s an honest conversation about identity, confidence, and the evolving relationship women are building with their bodies — and themselves.
