Ep 11: We All Know How Problematic the BMI Is
This might be the most vulnerable episode we’ve recorded yet. We open up about what it’s like to live in a bigger body in a world telling us that the only way to be happy is to be smaller and take up less space. We discuss the grief we’ve carried with that pressure and how, in the past, we’ve placed our value in how other people view us. We also talk about what we’re doing to work on loving our bodies.
