What's Like to Hate Yourself: What's the alternative?

Is it irrelevant to work on accepting or even loving our bodies when there are potentially more important things to worry about; like erasing systemic fatphobia? Should we fix that first and then body love will be easier when society adjusts? Let's talk about that in this week's episode!

How My Eating Disorders Saved Me From An Abusive Relationship

Binge Eating Disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder in adults, yet hardly anyone talks about it. So many people who live with it believe they are just addicted to food and a good old diet will fix their perceived out-of-control relationship around "bad" food. I talk about my own experience with this eating disorder and how I shifted my beliefs around it to get to a place where I was thankful I had it in my life at the time I needed it.

Trigger warning: I will be talking about eating disorders in this episode, food quantities, spousal abuse through food deprivation, and also a brief mention of child sexual assault so skip if that’s not feeling ok for you today.

When You Think Your Friends Don't Like You

Has a friend been a little distant or perhaps you haven't heard from someone in a while? What does it mean? Well, that everyone hates you...of course! (sarcasm alert). Why is it that we make up stories about how others perceive us in our heads and think that we have f*cked up in some way when the reality is probably something completely different? In this episode, I share how in my irrational brain I think certain people hate me and explore the feelings of those who I am jealous of.

The Left Has a Big Fatphobia Problem

Progressive spaces are filled with people who are determined to hold onto bigoted beliefs and it's really getting on my t*ts!
