Ever found yourself chuckling over the daily hiccups of life, like a Tigger onesie disaster or the overzealous use of a Zoom filter? That's just a teaser of what's in store when Lindsay, our special guest, joins us to dissect the lighter side of life and the heavier topics of body positivity and mental health. Together, we muse over the idiosyncrasies of our days, from the comfort of lazy Sundays to the emotionally charged terrain of heteronormative relationships, with books like "The Tragedy of Heterosexuality" and "Fed Up" guiding our banter.

The rollercoaster ride of diet culture, with its peaks and valleys, is something many of us know all too well. In this heart-to-heart, Lindsay Chris and Lisa pull back the curtain on how our families shaped our early interactions with dieting, and how communal dieting can affirm harmful behaviours and skew our perceptions of body image. As we journey through our personal narratives of weight struggles and societal pressure, we celebrate the liberating philosophies in "The Fck It Diet" and "Health at Every Size," and the courage it takes to break free from the toxic narratives wrapped around our bodies.

Wrapping up our chat with some food for thought (and soul), we delve into the joyful world of movement, the myths of exercise correlating with weight loss, and the power of rewarding ourselves with the simple pleasures of life—like a walk to grab our favorite subs. We also embrace the art of listening to our bodies' cravings and the nurturing aspects of intuitive eating, ensuring that we're not just nourishing our bodies, but also our spirits. It’s all rounded off with some "Listen Bitch" affirmations, ensuring we kick off our week with the right dose of sass and self-respect. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a celebration of self, sustenance, and the occasional steak mushroom melt sub.
