In episode 3, we’re talking love, sex, and dating with Ronald Young Jr., the host of Weight For It podcast. The ladies discuss how they met their partners and alongside Ronald, they give advice on dating, IRL and on the apps. Because let’s be real: It can be hard out there, and even harder as a plus-size person! So much of how we relate to our bodies is about how we relate to one another – so we’re debunking what society tells us is attractive, and the ladies have great tips on how to find your own spark.

Welcome to the Body Collective. We’re on a mission to change the way we talk about weight. In this series, we're chatting with friends and experts to help us navigate the hard conversations so we can listen to our bodies, advocate for ourselves, and feel more comfortable in our skin. With the use of new weight-loss medications on the rise, people seem to be talking about weight more than ever — but how do we do so in a way that feels healthy, empowering, and informed?
