August 29, 2022 S2 Ep8: The Most Chaotic Episode Ever
Welcome to the most chaotic podcast you've ever witnessed... This week we're chatting to the hilarious Ruth and Ange (aka Patty and Angie, aka our new best friends from here on our). We chatted for hours about everything from their most brutal fights in Flo Rida, to their relationships with their bodies and access to healthcare for people in bigger bodies. But luckily for you, we have an editor so this episode is just the funny bits/the bits that actually make sense...

This was so much fun to record and we ADORE them with all of our hearts. Hope you love this one too xxx

August 22, 2022 S2 Ep7: Let's Talk About Body Privilege
The way you look is the least interesting thing about you, BUT it's still a huge factor in how the rest of the world views you and treats you, so it's time for us to talk about body privilege.

It can be awkward and uncomfortable, but it's such an important topic so in this episode we're chatting about the spectrum of body privileges, the history of the body positivity and fat liberation movements, and our own privileges.

We are by no means experts - just people who have done research, are constantly learning, and are trying to make an inclusive community. So there's no shame at all if you're also still learning and feel a bit strange thinking about privilege when we live in a world where we're all made to hate our bodies. Feel free to just listen with an open mind, and remember that recognising body privilege does not take away from your own struggles.

If you'd like to do more of your own research, these resources are a good place to start: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uaKmxbeZCwhp4tfhX0b8BzpqPfOXggDRkydeRu8D_d0/edit?usp=sharing

August 15, 2022 S2 Ep6: Learning to Love the Outdoors
Outdoor activities are so bloody fun and the outdoors is for EVERYONE, no matter what you look like, but it doesn't always feel like it. From judgy people and lack of representation to kit and clothes that just don't fit, learning to love the outdoors is hard when you live in a bigger body. But Every Body Outdoors are a brilliant group who are trying to improve clothing, gear and representation for larger and plus sized bodies in the outdoors movement in the UK. So today we're chatting to one of their founders, Steph Wetherell, about getting into hiking, what it did for her relationship with her body, the reality of the outdoor clothing industry, and so much more!

Plus, we're announcing the first ever OFFICIAL Go Love Yourself meet up! For more information, here's the event: https://fb.me/e/2DCCZdv8r.

July 08, 2022 Trailer: WE'RE BACK
You guys! We're back!! We missed you so much during our break and we can't wait to get chatting again. This is the show where we’re on a mission to empower you to feel good about yourself! After all, your body is the least interesting thing about you… We grew up in the 90s and 00s when low rise jeans were high fashion, Bridget Jones was the poster fat girl and diet culture was rife. Now, as plus size women, we’re unlearning everything we’ve been taught about body image, acceptance and confidence, and this podcast takes you along for the ride! So join us on this new season as we talk about everything from diet culture to dating, mental health to social media, fashion and giving zero f***s about what people think.

Thank you so much for all your support so far. If you can't wait for next week, make sure you've joined our Facebook group, 'Go Love Yourself Community.' And if you have any ideas for the show, you can email our fancy new email, [email protected]. Chat soon lovelies! xx
