Today I'm back with an unhinged pep talk/rant about the onslaught of skinny everywhere. Listen up if you're feeling this too.

On this episode we talk about:

• How we are being gaslit into believing that Demi Moore's arms are "toned" and Hillary Duff is the new face of "body positivity".
• How "strong not skinny" still isn't it--and why our "body positivity should have been intersectional all along.
• Skinny influencers & how mean they are.
• Why I don't blame anyone trying to lose weight or taking GLP-1's right now, but I DO blame the system.
• The connections between the body trend du jour and the way women's rights are under attack.
• How body types as trends is ridiculous, and also how body acceptance was easier when then trend was curvier.
• Coming back to your "why" when it comes to the desire for weight loss.
• Why I'm still not making assumptions about anyone's health based on their weight and size, even if they're freakishly skinny.
• How we did this shit already (especially as elder millennials) and how we can feel the pressure to conform and still choose not to go back.
• How chasing thinness at all costs robs us of our strength and power.
• The difference between taking care of ourselves and forcing our bodies into submission.
• Other podcast episodes and books you might wanna listen to as a reminder.
• So many other good things!

My good friend Christina Montalvo is back and today we're talking all about the absolute fuckery of motherhood.

On this episode we talk about:

• My floral wallpaper (again) and our obsession with color.
• How we love our children but often hate the role of "mom".
• How you can be with a "good man" and they can still be woefully inadequate in terms of parenting support because the bar is so low.
• The ridiculous exceptions put on women vs. men when it comes to parenting.
• How we feel about mom guilt and the possibility of fucking up our kids.
• The ways we wish the world (especially America) was more supportive of moms.
• The brutal reality of being the default parent.
• Parenting without losing your whole personality.
• The ways we're bringing our whole selves to motherhood and repairing our mistakes along the way.
• So many other good things!
