Sequel to our previous episode on the difference between body shaming and genuinely pointing out a health concern to someone you love, this week's episode seeks to address the "friendship" angle.

And honestly, it's one of the most nuanced conversations we could have.


This episode covers:

  • What body shaming actually looks like, including the "well-meaning" versions
  • If good friends should speak up, and if so, exactly how to do it right
  • What to do if you're on the receiving end of that conversation
  • How to start building a self-esteem that can filter the noise
