About this episode

Has body positivity gone too far? To answer this question, we have our first guest on the podcast, Victoria Garrick Browne! A fellow content creator, mental health advocate, and founder of the Hidden Opponent, Victoria is hands down the most impressive person Alex and Jon have ever met. She joins the pod to share insightful points on body positivity, the “myth” of will power, and how to encourage your partner to live a healthier lifestyle with you. It’s Alex and Jon like you’ve never seen them before: serious and focused. Jon tries to impress Victoria with his volleyball experience but it’s clear theres no comparison. She was a D1 athlete and Jon is, well…Jon.
