Customer Reviews
Thank you for making wellness a safer space for fat Black women!
Hey, girls! I love y’all. Listening to your podcast is always the highlight of my commute. As a black queer feminist who is fat and not interested in weight loss/fatphobic health standards, I feel so LOVED and SEEN whenever I hear y’all speak out against fatphobia (which is all the time). Oh also, y’all should get Sabrina Strings or Caleb Luna on the show to talk about fat liberation and its intersection with black/latinx politics. Hearing y’all in dialogue would be a dream! Anyway, keep up the fabulous work <3
Postpartum peace
Thanks for being an anchor for me as I navigate a new body, even now 18 months after my daughter’s birth. Your calm, loving and realistic perspectives on food, the body, and balanced life have helped me so much. Whenever I’m feeling spiral-y, I know I have a safe haven and wise, life-giving words to hear from you. Appreciate you💗
All the things!
Wendy and Jess cover a wide range of topics on this podcast and I love it! When the topics involve their area of expertise, they make the science around nutrition easy to understand with zero fluff, which I appreciate. Listening to them is like chilling and chatting with your smart friends. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us and bringing on expert guest to address the rest. A truly delightful listen.
