  • Fat Girl Therapy 40: A Look at Fame, Food, and Finding Balance
    Apr 30 2024

    Have you ever watched a child star grow up in the limelight and wondered about the emotional toll it takes on them? This episode peels back the curtain on Jojo Siwa's journey from kid sensation to adult artist, while musing on the paths tread by the likes of Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears. We venture into the dicey terrain of public image and discuss the intense scrutiny and pitfalls that accompany fame from a young age. Brit Smith's recent backlash and the darker side of child stardom, including the mistreatment of young actors, are also put under the microscope.

    Life is a series of unexpected twirls, much like my morning tango with an argument that reinforced the value of boundaries. Reflecting on the whirlwind of turning 40, I ponder over the struggle with food choices and the resolve to forge ahead with a healthy plan, laced with self-compassion. The culinary journey doesn't stop there; we embark on a quest to invigorate our taste buds with new foods—think the zesty kick of kimchi and the rich complexity of Indian cuisine—while juggling dietary goals and budget constraints.

    Parenting, a realm of boundless love and challenges, comes alive with tales of Harper's park escapades and the rollercoaster of toddler emotions. And as we navigate the delicate topic of body image and fitness aspirations, I share an empowering narrative of embracing our physical self with confidence. Join us for this sincere and enlightening exploration, brimming with personal anecdotes, hearty laughs, and candid insights into the many facets of life's grand adventure.

We unpack the unseen burden of technology, contrasting the simplicity of tapping on a screen with the toll it takes on our minds, all while keeping the mood light and laughter plentiful.

    Take a seat at our table as we guide you through the age-old craft of sourdough bread making, from nurturing your very own starter to pulling a steaming loaf from the oven. Discover the joy of mixing in unique ingredients and the pride that comes from a well-baked creation. We'll even let you in on our fitness journeys, where Heather and I redefine our relationships with the gym and self-image, swapping out aesthetics for a celebration of strength and performance. It's an intimate, empowering exchange that might just inspire you to lace up those sneakers and set your own personal records.

  • AITA For wanting to stick to my gym routine?
    Apr 16 2024

    Ever wondered what podcasters do when they're about to vanish on an internet-free cruise? They hustle beforehand, and that's exactly what we've done in our latest episode—packed with book chatter, relationship real-talk, and holiday hilarity. Hear me gush about "A Court of Thorns and Roses," a fantasy series that's hooked me despite its notorious spice levels, and join us as we stroll down memory lane with "50 Shades" and "Twilight," reflecting on the peculiar challenges they pose when jumping from page to screen.

    Relationships can be a minefield, especially when weight gain enters the conversation. We dissect a listener's tale of the 'boyfriend 20,' which sparked an unexpected debate with his partner, and grapple with the nuances of humor and body image in relationships. But it's not all serious—we lighten the mood with a dive into social media overload, sharing our own struggles with the relentless demand to be digitally present while fighting ad fatigue.

    So, sit back, relax, and join us for an episode that promises laughs, insights, and perhaps a new book for your shelf.
