1:22:55

TRIGGER WARNING: Use of the O-words All good things must come to an end my friends. This podcast has saved me in a multitude of ways.

Fat on Film by Barbara Plotz with Haz Cady 1:20:19

2+ y ago1:20:19

1:20:19

I've had a lot of chats on this podcast with people who've become friends after the show but rarely do I get to chat to a friend I had before getting them on the show (see my chat with Chavonne about Fierce Fattie or with Pascale about The Fat Lady Sings to see a couple I have done), but this episode is with a friend. I met Haz Cady when my podcast…

Big Girl by Kelsey Miller with Chelsea Levy 1:07:53

2+ y ago1:07:53

1:07:53

I had Big Girl by Kelsey Miller on my TBR pile for a really long time. I even sent out a note a few years (yes YEARS!) ago on social media looking for someone to read it with me, but I didn't get any takers so when Chelsea Levy mentioned this book as being a really important part of her journey to body liberation during an IG live a few months ago,…

Fat Girls in Black Bodies by Joy Arlene Renee Cox with Angel Austin 1:06:43

2+ y ago1:06:43

1:06:43

I don't think I knew when Angel Austin of Sacred Space for Black Bodies asked to read Fat Girls in Black Bodies by Dr Joy Cox that it would be such a perfect match, but Angel and this book go hand-in-hand. A big theme of this book is building community and Angel has incredible community building projects on the go, including mutual aid resources, a…

1:22:12

This is the second of two episodes on Gendered Bodies and Public Scrutiny by Victoria Kannen. This time though I chatted with Layla Cameron, a fat activist based close to my hometown in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

1:17:32

I am so excited for you to listen to this week's episode. I stumbled across Katie Winnen's podcast by chance and heard a genuine joyfulness in her voice. I invited her on my pod and was so happy to find out that she is authentically joyful. I mean, I really wish I lived closer to her because I have a feeling I would be trying to hang out on patios …

The Fat Lady Sings by Cheryl Fuller with Cheryl Fuller and Pascale Jenkins 1:14:33

2+ y ago1:14:33

1:14:33

I don't know why the thought never occurred to me. But it didn't. If finding a doctor is hard because of the way diet culture has made us all fatphobes, why did I think finding a therapist would be any different? But I never thought about it like that, until a friend told me about The Fat Lady Sings by Cheryl Fuller, which explores being a therapis…

This week I am re-releasing this episode with Cat Pausé. I didn't know her well, in fact we only met twice. I was on her podcast Friend of Marilyn and she was on mine.

13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl by Mona Awad with Serena Nangia 1:25:31

2+ y ago1:25:31

1:25:31

In this conversation with Serena Nangia we get vulnerable. I think part of the reason for that was this book, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl by Mona Awad, was personal and triggering. Having said that, we both had really different perspectives because Serena never dieted and grew up in a household with someone who struggled with an eating disorde…

Body of Truth by Harriet Brown with Dr. Lisa Folden 1:00:51

2+ y ago1:00:51

1:00:51

I love book people. If you talk the language of books, you and me, we'll get along and Dr. Lisa, she talked the language of books. Her story into body liberation began with a book that was also my starting point and in this discussion we jump into Harriet Brown's Body of Truth. We cover a lot of ground, including: Lisa's body liberation journey How…

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant with Destiny Dimattei 1:03:49

3y ago1:03:49

1:03:49

I have something really different for you this week. I know that recently we've had an episode that strayed off the path of body acceptance books but this is way, way off the path (we can barely see the path!). This week I'm discussing a fictional book called Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant with a second time podcast guest, Destiny Dimattei. I…

Every year I pick my favourite books of the year in November.

Three reasons why this book is so incredibly magnificent: Savala Nolan's story is powerful. She is a mixed race woman who dives deep int…

The Hundred Year Diet by Susan Yager with Emily Lubin 1:18:35

3y ago1:18:35

1:18:35

I have never thrown out my questions when talking to a guest before, but I just had so much fun talking to Emily Lubin about The Hundred Year Diet by Susan Yager that I lost track of time and didn't ask anything I'd planned to! This book also provided us with lots to discuss. The 100 Year Diet was really problematic and triggering, so we were able …

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho with Adrienne Bennett 1:08:06

3y ago1:08:06

1:08:06

If you head over to Adrienne Bennett's IG account, you will see why I had to have this woman on the show. I'm not one for woo woo, but this woman shines. She is highly radiant and all I wanted is for some of that to rub off on me. When I reached out to her though, she said she doesn't read too much in the body acceptance space, which is interesting…
