230. The Business of GLP-1s
Show notes
GLP-1s are everywhere, but the conversation is often focused on the medication itself, not the massive business that has been built around it. In this episode, we’re looking at the unseen pieces of the GLP-1 boom: the money, marketing, messaging, and systems shaping how these drugs are sold and talked about, and why understanding the business behind them matters when we talk about health, bodies, and weight.

If your relationship with food is so much better than it used to be, it can be hard to recognize when there’s still more freedom available to you.

We’ll talk about the subtle ways food and body image can still take up mental space, why the tools that helped you get *better* may not be the same ones that get you to free, and what actually needs to shift to move forward.

216. Ariana Grande and the Complexity of Talking About Bodies
Show notes
This is a difficult conversation to have, and one I debated discussing for quite some time. I’m sharing it because I know this topic is on the minds of many people and not addressing it can often lead to even more damage.
My intention is to approach this conversation with respect, compassion, and without judgment. If you are not in a place where hearing a discussion that touches on someone’s current body or body changes feels supportive for you today, this may not be the episode to listen to right now and that is completely okay. 🤎

We cover the benefits and drawbacks of following recovery content, how to navigate it when someone regresses, and how to honestly assess whether these accounts are supporting your recovery or keeping you stuck.
