Just what the Doctor didn’t order (and yes to that!)
I’m new to my path of reclaiming my body from the diet industry and the pervasive anti fat culture we live in. Sofia has been the best companion on this path. She’s introduced me via her interviews to amazing guests. Her questions are sharp and insightful and she’s very open and honest about her own loved experience. She’s the kinda podcast host I want invite to dinner as I know we could carry on these amazing conversations.
Great guests, important conversations
I’m so happy to have this podcast as a source of education and support. We need more people talking about these issues! Sophia is so relatable and makes me feel less alone. She interviews some fantastic guests who are doing the work that is helping change our world for the better.
Mind shifting and glorious!
If you have a twisted inner monologue about bodies that you think is your voice (most of us do!), this show will set you straight in the most positive, helpful way. Listening is like having a long held splinter removed from your paw.
If you love Maintenance Phase, listen to this!
I found this podcast after the Aubrey Gordon episode and binged all the episodes available immediately afterwards. As a straight sized person my whole life, this podcast has allowed me to learn more about the experiences and perspectives of fat people in their own words versus hearing what straight-sized or medical people think is the experience of living in a fat body. I’ve learned a lot about how to be more mindful and validating towards fat people and also how to be an ally to them. I love this podcast and hope it continues for a long time! Thank you for making it.
Fun & constructive
The host is considerate, inquisitive and welcoming; guests are from interesting walks of life. Casual, constructive, friendly vibe.
So so so good!
I love this podcast. It honestly feels like a chat with a wise friend who really cares. The host is excellent and the guests are informative. Yay!
Every episode is uplifting!
It’s like sitting in on a chat with friends who know what it’s like. I’m a Patreon supporter too, which gets me extra goodies.
A joy to listen to!
Sophia provides a much-needed platform for larger-bodied people to share their stories in a safe, supportive space. The interviews are thoughtful, interesting and insightful. More then anything, I love how the show celebrates body diversity and gives a big middle finger to our weight-stigmatizing world.
