What is up peaches!!

This week I have the HONOR of getting to talk to another one of my best friends, Jenna Monaco. Jenna actually has her own podcast, and came to me with the idea of recording an episode about dating. As you'll hear on our episode, we have very different experiences in the dating world and really to have a candid conversation about them. The convo was so good I had to share it with you peaches too!

Yes, this episode is hella long, but it's because we go into allllll the things and don't hold back. Whether you're married, single, engaged, in a relationship or taking a break from dating, I think you'll connect with what we have to share. So, grab a snack, a drink and take a bathroom break if needed, but stick it out because this episode is worth listening to in full. Trust me!!

Hey Peaches!!

We're back with another incredible episode! This week I'm talking to Lauren Bailey, a San Francisco-based nurse, intersectional-feminist, and self-love advocate. Lauren believes body positivity and mental health are just as important as any physical or medical condition in this journey towards wellness, and overall is such an awesome person!

In this episode we start off talking a lot about self-discovery, and the deep relationships that can help us transform the most. We then dive into Lauren's work as a nurse and talk a lot about her perspective on medicine as it pertains to the plus size community.

TW we talk about health, weight, numbers and use the word 'obesity'.

You can connect with Lauren on Instagram @hellooo_rn.
