    i’ve been struggling…

    In this heart-to-heart episode, Victoria is finally ready to open up about her recent body image struggles. As she's hinted at through her Instagram stories over the past few months, she’s been struggling more than she ever has since having her binge eating disorder.

Thank You

Really needed this one this week. I’m deep in the thick of negative body image thoughts and they’re taking my joy. So comforting to know I’m not alone and we always come out better on the other side. Thank you, Vic 🩷

Real Pod is My Peace

I was always so intimidated by podcasts. There are so many out there nowadays and I was worried about the type of content or discussions that I would come across. As soon as I discovered Vic’s content and Real Pod, I knew that I had found a safe space in every single episode. This is so comforting when we live in a society that is often deeply rooted in diet culture and mental health stigmas. I look forward to Real Pod every week and am so grateful to have gained peace knowing it will always be a safe place to listen 🤍

My spirit is good bc new real pod episode just dropped!

started listening to the kaitlyn bristowe episode the second it dropped and LOVED it! thank you both for emphasizing how social media only shows a “highlight reel” of our full daily life. Vic, you have reshaped my view of social media and helped me develop a healthy relationship with my body and eating. I only spend a few minutes a day on IG, but I always check your stories bc they make me so happy and appreciative of your realness. love you, max, and your podcast!!!
