Mentioned in episode: Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paolo Freire Fat and Fertile group on Facebook by Nicola Salmon

Amanda interviews her fellow Catholic working mother JoAnna Wahlund, whose book comes out at the end of May.

Best line from JoAnna in this episode: "We need to change the concept of the male wombless body as being normative" [in the workplace].

Nicole and Amanda talk about how they have been brave lately and also how they still have things they are afraid of.

Amanda gets to talk with Nicola Salmon about fertility, bodies, and how stigma against fat people affects fertility issues.
