Welcome back to an extra special episode of Boy Problems -- today, we're celebrating one whole year of the show!!! 🎂 🥳 This show wouldn't be what it is today without all of you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Today I'm sharing a dose of radical honesty about eating disorders — what they actually cost you (financially, physically, romantically) and why awareness alone doesn't fix them. Everyone's been talking about Ariana Grande's diminishing frame. The concern is real, but so is the anger, the grief, and the uncomfortable truth that our obsession with her body says a lot more about us than it does about her.

Also in this episode: Boy Problems is moving to Thursdays (it's always been a Thursday show in my heart,) we are launching a Patreon for close friends only, and I share my thoughts on the hoodie of the summer (spoiler alert, it's boy problems merch!)🎙️✨
