    Navigating Hate Comments

    In this episode, I’m getting real about confidence and handling the internet’s noise. I share why the only opinions that truly matter are your own and God’s, not the random hate comments people throw your way. From reading some of the wild comments on my viral post (yes, out loud) to responding with honesty, humor, and a little sass, this episode is all about embracing who you are—right now, exactly as you are. If you’ve ever struggled with confidence, battled negativity online (or in real life), or just need a reminder that your worth is not up for debate, this one’s for you.

    It Was Never Your Fault

    In this episode, I’m sharing one of the hardest stories I’ve ever told—the moment someone close to me said my miscarriage was my fault. We’ll talk about the deep grief of pregnancy loss, the silence of people you thought would show up, and the surprising ways you find your people through pain. From the “supposed to be’s” to the stories that don’t get shared enough—like miscarriage after infertility—this episode holds space for all of it. I’ll also talk about what unwavering faith looks like in the middle of loss, and how I wrestled with feeling like the unlucky one while still trusting God’s intentions.

    My Miscarriage Story

    After two years of infertility, I finally saw those two pink lines — a positive pregnancy test that brought hope, joy, and tears. But my journey took an unexpected turn.

I share the truth about what it's like to lose a pregnancy — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — and how I coped with pain, confusion, and loss while holding space for healing and hope.

    How Many Diets Have You Tried?

    If You’re Over 200 Pounds and a Girl… How Many Diets Have You Tried? For so many of us who’ve existed in plus-size or larger bodies, dieting was introduced early—sometimes before we even understood what “healthy” really meant. We’ve been taught that as long as we’re trying to lose weight, we’re doing “the right thing.” But what happens when you start to question diet culture? How do you relearn what health looks like without constant restriction or shame? In this episode, I’m unpacking the years of diet programs, meal plans, and toxic weight-loss mindsets so many of us have cycled through. We’re talking about:     •    Why dieting is so normalized in larger bodies     •    How to separate health from weight loss     •    The challenge of building a sustainable, diet-free version of health     •    My personal journey and mindset shifts after years in diet culture If you’ve ever wondered how to pursue health without being stuck in an endless diet cycle — this one’s for you.

Whether you’re newly dating, sneaking around, in a relationship, or still figuring it out, this is the conversation we all needed. Plus-size dating. Body image. Confidence.
