TW: mention of BMI. Ready to get mighty mad at the injustice that is fat fertility and pregnancy? In this episode I have my first ever guest, Nicola Salmon who is a fat-positive and feminist fertility coach and author of “Fat and Fertile." Nicola make me want to throat punch someone (a fatphobic dr?) with all the realities that fat humans face in the fertility and pregnancy world. You'll love this episode if you're a fat person trying to get pregnant, are already pregnant, given birth or if you know a fat human who is one of those things.

"New year, new you!" Chances are you've been hearing this phrase a lot. There's loads of diet adverts around and it can be tempting to consider trying one last new magical program that will finally make you thin. But if there is a little voice that is telling you that this year is going to be different for you then tune into this episode where I am giving some resolution suggestions that will actually make you feel like a goddamn badass and not a massive failure when the magical diet doesn't work. (P.S. you're not a failure, diets are).

This episode is for people who have ever been children, it's for people who ever have contact with children or those who are parents or caretakers. I answer a listener question on how to help fat kids love themselves. Learn how to not massively f*ck up children in this episode and if you don't have kids you can use this information to reparent yourself as an adult.

Content Warning: Use of the "O Words" throughout episode. What's the deal with using the word "fat?" Why not use a word that is nicer? Or medical words like "ov*rw*ight" or "ob*se?" Lemme break it down including why the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale is total bullshit.

I don't love my fat body and I don't know whhhyyyy! Have you ever said this? If so, you need to check out the 5 massive reasons why you're not able to get to a place of body acceptance.

A lot of people get angry about this topic and the reason (most of the time) is that they don't understand what thin privilege is and when they realise they may have it they get defensive and say "but I don't have thin privilege because I don't like my body!" Let me clear up the confusion once and for all and share why having thin privilege doesn't actually make you a bad person, surprize!

Whoa, nelly, what a ride! The BBC documentary I heavily feature in came out a little while ago and some people are hot under the collar over some of my beliefs. I spill the beans on the show and reveal the truth of what happened and what I feel about the show. P.S. If you're not in the UK I tell you how to watch the show no matter where in the world you are :)

I got a question which I am sure a lot of you can resonate with; how do I deal with friends who talk about their diets all the time? The reasons why we may not want to hear diet talk are many. Perhaps you’re recovering from an eating disorder or chronic dieting. Perhaps you’re working on accepting your fat body and knowing others want to shrink theirs is hurtful. Perhaps you just find it really boring and wanna ZZZZZZZ the hell outta there? Whatever the reasons then I’m gonna help you in this episode.

What are the consequences to YOU and YOUR LIFE if you don't work on your confidence? How does this ruins your future and your happiness? Lemme tell ya; the ways are numerous and massive. In this episode podcast lets deep dive into these questions and look at all the areas of your life that your confidence could be affected (even ways you have no idea about!!).

Scared of becoming fat(ter)? Worried about your health if you stop dieting and controlling what you eat? Think that loving your body will lead to becoming unattractive and unappealing? Then you should listen to this podcast episode as I reveal the truth behind these common fear and show you how they are 100% certified baloney.

Chances are you’ve been on more than one diet in your life; I know I have. A diet is any type of restrictive eating, whether it be a juice cleanse (cleanses are bullshit, by the way). Telling yourself you won’t eat carbs until you get a date with Channing Tatum (hands off him, he’s mine). Or it could be a full-on restriction of calories in order to starve your body into supermodelness. I am here to tell you why I will never go on a diet again, because my friends…that shit is fucked.

Content warning: sexual assault, abuse on a minor, homelessness, self-esteem issues, alcoholism, and eating disorders. This is my story of how I went from meek and mild - hating my fat body, being a doormat with shitty jobs, loser boyfriends, and an all-around sad existence. Into a confident and courageous Fierce Fatty who loves her fat body unapologetically, is relaxed around food, a best-selling author, and TEDx speaker. I went from one extreme to the other, so if you want to change your relationship with your body and food, you SO can!

Welcome to The Fierce Fatty Podcast! The way we view and treat people who live in fat bodies is broken. Diets do not work, yet 50% of people will attempt yet another one this year. 91% of women are unhappy with the way their body looks and that stops them from participating in life fully. In this first episode learn the inspiration behind the podcast and what to expect from future episodes.
