About this episode

Everyone talks about skinny privilege - but what if they’ve got it wrong? It’s not about a number on the scale. It’s not about finally being “fixed.” And it’s definitely not something you achieve by starving yourself into a smaller body.

In this episode of Drop It, I break down what skinny privilege really is… and why chasing it has kept so many people overweight, stuck, and miserable.

We cover: ✅ What people get wrong about skinny privilege ✅ My personal experience with it - both at 274 lbs and at 164 lbs ✅ Why believing in skinny privilege drives unsustainable weight loss methods ✅ The difference between skinny privilege and fat disadvantage ✅ Why the real goal is healthy privilege - radiance, energy, and freedom ✅ How outsourcing your happiness keeps you stuck vs. taking the driver’s seat of your life ✅ A practical exercise to fully embody your healthiest self starting today

Skinny privilege isn’t something to achieve. It’s an energy - one you can access now by becoming the radiant, healthy version of yourself.
