Is "Fat" a Dirty Word? Talking fat phobi...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Hey lifers!

You can cast your vote for the Australian podcast awards here!

Laura's now a believer! She's experienced a bit of an out of body experience!

We unpack a clip going viral on tiktok at the moment and have a question for you! Is it okay to ask someone for their financial status before going on a date with them?
More deeply, do you think you could have a successful relationship with someone who has a different level of ambition to you?. 

Joining the podcast today is body confidence influencer, Great British Bake Off contestant and future author of ‘diet starts Monday’ Laura Adlington. There seems to be a lot of internet conversation around completely loving ourselves and being entirely confident in our body and while that's absolutely the goal, it's not where a lot of us are genuinely at. This conversation feels so real. It's very honest and completely transparent. 

We chat:

  • Why we feel like we don't like ourselves
  • Diet culture messaging is built into us from when we are kids
  • Body neutrality movement and learning to focus on other components of yourself over your body
  • How laura feels about the word fat & how fatphobia looks in our world
  • Opinions on bariatric surgery and medications like ozempic
  • How fertility is impacted by body size & Laura's BMI prevents her from adopting a child

Her podcast "Go love yourself" is on Instagram and available on apple or spotify
