Up Close And Uncomfortable Podcast

CW: Homophobia, Transphobia, Oppression, Repression. Cori is done with anti-gayness and the old standard of "the strong male" image. (She also does a bit of fan-girling about Lil Nas X) Brilliant fashion and performances were a-plenty as New York Fashion Week, MTV's VMA's, and the Met Gala were recently back-to-back. Some folks were clutching their pearls 'til they broke! The ladies discuss what it is that lies beneath homophobia, transphobia, and perhaps why folks get so fired up about LGBTQIA+ expression. Spoiler alert: It isn't because there's an attack on old-fashioned straightness!

CW: Diet-Culture, Disordered Eating, White Supremacy, and Racism. The hosts discuss the first of many topics on a collective laundry list of things they are just DONE with. For Maggie, diet and workout troubles have taken too much time and power from her life and she's getting it back by rejecting what others think about her body. The ladies talk genetics, self-love, and the movement to change the images of bodies that we're fed via the media. Resisting societal norms makes some folks very uncomfortable and Cori and Maggie are both here for it.
