Hot Take Alert! Today, I'm diving deep into the controversial topic of body talk. Should we ever comment on someone's body? Do these remarks truly come from a place of concern? Join me as I unpack the potential harm behind these comments and talk about the damaging impact they can have. Throughout my journey with an eating disorder, I've heard some truly out-of-pocket remarks that I wish had remained unsaid. Tune in to hear my perspective and insights. It's time to rid ourselves of these conversations and to, frankly, find something more interesting to talk about!
Enjoy the show!

Fat shaming and diet culture are two harmful and non-factual thought patterns. Today’s episode is a deep dive into why we began fat shaming and how it seeps into our everyday lives. Our mental health, body image, and self-acceptance are tested by these norms, and I am here to question the status quo. From this conversation comes insights into diet culture, how to be a conscious and mindful consumer, and how rejecting diet culture and fat shaming can help us to live more joyfully and promote a healthier mindset.
Let me set the scene: we're at a sleepover and I'm rambling before bed. This episode is a chatty one, all about spring cleaning, holistic health, and intentions/ ideas for Q2 of 2024!

This episode follows a journey that I've been struggling with-- having more than one passion that I feel drawn to. This forces me away from conventional ideas of life trajectories, and it's scary.
