EPISODE SUMMARY:
In today's episode I decided to share a little bit about my history of disordered eating, the correlation it had to body image issues and fat-phobia within our society, the BMI scale (& why I don't like it), as well as the ramifications that I have been facing (including, but not limited to, the loss of my period).

In today’s episode I was feeling extremely motivated to speak about some pressing social issues taking place right now. In specific, I’m addressing Asian hate, the “not all men” response, and why I’m against marriage as an institution. I’d say it’s going to be quite political, but human rights are not politics. These are moral and social issues that need to be talked about☕️
