NOTE from Masha: As these episode are being released, the world is dealing with the coronavirus crisis. Because all episodes in the season were recorded well in advance, this is not discussed on the show. I hope that you will apply the same themes that we discuss throughout the Bold Adulting podcast to coping and supporting both yourself and others in your community (including the global community) --
- reaching out to people (virtually)
- figuring out what you want to make progress on and making a plan
- being open about what you're going through with the people who you feel comfortable sharing with
- looking for evidence-based resources
- remembering that you are not alone
If you want to connect with me to discuss what you're going through (about this or anything else), please feel free to email me or find me on Facebook (send me a message letting me know you found me through the podcast).
I also strongly suggest connecting with other caring and compassionate people through the Facebook group Distance Resistance (which I don't run but I participate in) which is about staying connected even while we have to stay apart. You can also find a lot of information there about getting help or giving help -- this is a is moment to come together.

In episode 2 of a two-part episode, Voice Actor and Coach, Podcaster, and Marketing Specialist Tawny Platis discusses fighting bi invisibility by coming out in the context of being in an other-gender relationship, setting boundaries with family members for self-care, and finding help for recovering from eating disorders and body dysmorphia.

Mentioned in this episode:
- Bi invisibility
- Coming out
-
- Note that the “coming out” language is useful for not only sexual orientation and gender identity but also other destigmatized experiences & identities. Not everyone in the queer community feels that it’s appropriate to use this language more broadly, but many do
- Pansexuality and Bisexuality
-
- Note: Masha identifies as pansexual (attracted to people regardless of gender) but uses the word “bisexual” in contexts where she feels that’ll be better understood. This may be considered a form of code switching.
- The obituary of George Platis - Tawny’s late husband
- Rich’s Nightclub
- Baja Betty’s
- Food Psych Podcast - about intuitive eating and Health At Every Size
- Asking before hugging
-
- Masha’s 3rd ever stand up comedy set was about this.
- In the spirit of antiperfectionism, she recognizes the ways to improve this for next time, without judging herself for this drafty draft
- This performance was during a stand up comedy class taught by DJ Demers at MaxFunCon, an amazing convention of the Maximum Fun podcasting network
- Nose picking article on wikipedia
- Binge show about bulimia
- Podience podcast
In this 2-part interview, we talk about how Diet Culture shapes our relationships with food and movement. In case you or someone you know needs it, here is some possibly helpful information:
- Eating Disorder Hotline Listings
- International Eating Disorder Resources
- Body Dysmorphic Disorder
- Body Liberation

Courage the Confidence Cat says hi too: Here he is hard at work while Masha works from home
