As we peel back the layers of fitness and self-discovery, we uncover the truth about the physical and mental metamorphosis that comes from embracing our unique bodies. Wendy guides us through the nuances of tailoring fitness plans, the critical role of mindset in shaping our health, and the transformative power of personal commitment – highlighting the Harvard study that showcases the incredible impact of recognizing the value of everyday physical activities.

Dive deep into the heart of what it means to reclaim one's narrative, as Wendy discusses the empowering act of embracing terms like 'fat' and recognizing the significance of bone density and muscle mass in our overall well-being. We explore the practice of setting intentions, the fortitude found in gratitude, and the profound influence of supportive partners in fitness endeavors. This episode isn't just about moving your body; it's about transforming your life, with Wendy's guiding voice illustrating how to create a trauma-informed approach to exercise and how to find joy in every step of your health journey.

As we unpack the 2023 awards, the conversation glides from the heartfelt acceptance speeches to the meticulous process that ensures each nominee is duly recognized. Our own encounter with the nomination system takes center stage, revealing how adjustments in the process have elevated the fairness and prestige of these accolades.

Surprises are the heartbeat of any awards ceremony, and this episode is no different as we peel back the curtain on the nomination journey. Gasp along with us as we recount the moments where unsuspecting winners were showered in glory, and learn how the Full Figured Industry Awards has become a beacon of diversity and inclusion, continuously breaking barriers with categories like Silver Fox.

Our first treasure trove of conversations from Fat Con is kicking off with Briq House, a Seattle-based erotic entrepreneur whose mission is to celebrate sexuality and foster sexual healing in black and brown communities. From the pulse-racing finale of Fat Con's fashion show to the critical discussions around safe, sex-positive spaces, we navigate the intersections of fat positivity, identity, and community empowerment with our guests, leading us through a series of transformative and heartening insights.

We relive the magic of events from Fat Con that offer a haven for fat positivity, where the boldness of fashion and the strength found in affirmation illuminate the chapters of our advocacy.

As we traverse the shifting sands of perimenopause and menopause, it can often feel like uncharted territory. That's why we invited Karelin, a licensed marriage and family therapist and menopause coach, to walk us through this landscape with humor, empathy, and a treasure trove of expertise. Her voice joins ours in a chorus that sings of the complexities, the emotional rollercoaster, and the surprisingly sparse map of information that leaves so many women feeling lost. We're here to place more markers on that map, to share anecdotes that echo your own, and to affirm that the journey, while unique for each woman, is one we can navigate together.

Throughout our conversations, we don't just talk about perimenopause; we get personal. From mood swings that can feel like tidal waves, to the hot flashes that could probably toast marshmallows, we lay it all out. We share laughs over the unexpected – like the time sweat patches became my unexpected accessory at a crucial meeting – and we lean into the serious, discussing the support that can make all the difference. Partners who can ride out the storm with us, medical professionals who listen, and personal toolkits that help manage the myriad symptoms. We discuss the role of HRT, navigating body acceptance, and even how a sprinkle of micro-resiliency can be your best friend during a sleepless night.

But we don't stop there. As we wrap up, we brush on the interplay of alcohol with hormones, and the value of somatic therapy for emotional regulation. And because menopause can affect more than just our bodies, we touch on the evolving understanding of sexuality, stress management, and the sheer power found in community solidarity. Plus, we've got a Nordic romance recommendation you won't want to miss. Join us, and Karelin, for an episode that feels like your favorite cozy chat - full of insights, strategies, and a whole lot of shared experiences.
