🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms who’ve lost a combined 165+ pounds and are still unpacking the wiring that came with growing up as the fat kid. This is the podcast where we talk about body image, diet culture, identity shifts, and the stuff that sticks long after gym class ends.

This week, we’re getting into the Oscars, Kathy Bates, and the return of thin chic.

🏆 The Oscars, Red Carpets & Impossible Beauty Standards
 We talk about why women still cannot just show up to an event without being picked apart, polished up, and turned into a public conversation. From styling to scrutiny to the pressure to look ageless on command, the whole thing feels exhausting.

📸 Kathy Bates, Edited Photos & Women Aging in Public
 We get into the conversation around Kathy Bates and the edited photos making the rounds after the Oscars, plus what it says about how brutal the beauty standard still is, especially for older women. Because apparently even arriving is not enough. You also have to be digitally sanded down first.

👠 Thin Chic, GLP-1 Culture & The Vibe Shift
 We also talk about whether thin chic is fully back, how celebrity culture keeps recycling the same body ideals, and why this particular era feels like old beauty pressure in a newer, shinier package.

If you have ever looked at a red carpet and thought, cool, cool, love being a woman in public, this episode is for you.
