Episode 104 with Angel Edme
Fat Visibility And The Courage To Create
Show Notes & Full Transcript
In this episode of the Fat Joy Creation Lab capsule collection, Sophia sits down with fashion, beauty, and lifestyle creator Angel Edme (she/her) for a spacious, honest conversation about visibility, boundaries, creativity, and the audacity it takes to take up space in a bigger body.
This episode weaves through themes of self-trust, immigrant family identity, body liberation, and the real tension of making a living through creative work without suffocating the creative spark itself. Angel speaks beautifully about taking baby steps toward self-love, choosing discomfort as a path to growth, and why audacity is her guiding word for the year ahead.
In this episode, we explore:
What it’s like to be deeply visible online and still set boundaries
Healing people-pleasing in real time, not just in theory
Creativity as a practice of self-trust and emotional regulation
The tension between creative freedom and financial survival
Audacity as a fat, liberatory practice
If you’ve ever felt the pull to create something meaningful but worried about visibility, judgment, or whether you’re “allowed” to take up space, this conversation offers both permission and companionship.
To learn more about how you can tap into your creativity and take an idea from napkin scribble to something alive in the world, check out the Fat Joy Creation Lab. We start on March 3, 2026!
