Journeying their journey

I’ve really enjoyed the evolution of the podcast from a weight loss journey to an acceptance journey. I feel like it really mirrors the experience so many of us have when we discover body liberation and dump diet culture. Greg and Carly are not only hilarious, but extremely relatable. Each episode feels like a hang out session with both of them. They are so genuine with their sharing that it really gives the podcast so much authenticity. I look forward to lists each week.

Fun and inspired

This is not a dry weight loss podcast it’s funny and the hosts are funny. They tell inspired stories and their own foibles. Definitely worth a listen
