Welcome to episode #57 of the Recover with Carly Podcast.

This week I sat down with Espi Chavez- plus size beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment content creator. Espi is also the creator of the viral Tiktok videos titled “Would You Date Someone Plus Size?” where Espi asks strangers whether or not they would date someone plus size.

Throughout today's episode, Espi opens up about her journey toward confidence, finding a love for fashion, and navigating fatphobia within the dating world.

Espi shares her inspiration behind the “Would You Date Someone Plus Size” videos and why she feels it’s so important to continue making these videos. Espi shares that one of her goals is to show the world that plus size people deserve love & that so many people out there find them attractive and beautiful even though the world likes to tell us otherwise.

I am so thankful for the work that Espi is doing! She is truly making so many people feel seen & that is so powerful. You can follow Espi on Instagram, Tiktok, and Youtube. Also keep an eye out because Espi will be releasing some new music as well as a podcast and fun new conent!

Welcome to episode #56 of the Recover with Carly Podcast.

This week I sat down with Kenna Reed - one of the founders of Help Maui Rise, a project dedicated to providing aid to families displaced by the Maui wildfire that devastated the historic town of Lahaina and upcountry Kula on August 8th. What started out as a Google Doc soon turned into a resource that was shared all over the world to easily & safely donate directly to families affected by the Maui wildfires.

Throughout today's episode, Kenna shares with us what happened on August 8th, how families have been impacted and continue to be impacted, and why she and two others (Samantha Feyen + Gabby Pascual) decided to start Help Maui Rise.

Kenna shares how Help Maui Rise has evolved as well as how this disaster will impact Maui in the future.

I am so thankful for the work that Kenna, Sam, and Gabby are doing with Help Maui Rise & for their continued efforts to aid displaced families. I hope that we can continue to talk about Maui & help in anyway possible.

Welcome to episode #55 of the Recover with Carly Podcast.

This week I sat down with Lauren Leavell - inclusive fitness instructor & content creator.

Throughout today's episode, Lauren shares with us what her relationship with movement has looked like over the years, how she got into instructing, and tips on how to take movement a little less seriously.

Lauren shared some tips on navigating movement when traveling, how to step away from prioritizing calories & instead prioritize sleep, hydration, etc.

I am so thankful for the work that Lauren is doing - I wish I would have had someone like her when I was navigating an unhealthy relationship with movement.
