the elephant in the room (teitr)

today on the pod, we are getting SEXY. i dive into my personal journey of feeling confident and desirable in my body, unpack the things that hold us back in intimate moments, and reflect on how much joy we rob ourselves of when we're stuck in our heads instead of being present. 🐘🤎

this week’s episode is just a little catch up. i talk about halloween, some life changes, and the balance i am trying to find in my life (trying to find those little moments of joy wherever i can get them!) 🐘🤎

in the first episode of season 2, i tackle some thoughts on aging, the complicated ups and downs on the journey to body positivity, and grief. excited to be back for another season of getting deep and talking shit with you all. 🐘🤎

in the final episode of season 1, i reflect on the season / my own journey and give a sneak peek into all the exciting things to come in season 2. 🐘🤎

think of today’s episode as a little check in: i take you through where i’m at with my body these days, what i’ve been watching, some therapy realizations, and my experience with the dreaded late-night shame spiral. 🐘🤎

trigger warning: eating disorders and eating disorder behaviours, medical talk, some suicidal ideation today i’m joined by my very first guest on the pod: my childhood friend, talia rosseel. along with being a writer at a toronto advertising agency, talia is an advocate for eating disorder awareness and recovery. she takes us through her journey in this episode. 🐘🤎

today i’m back with a chat on the deep-rooted fatphobia in the medical community. i dive into anxiety around doctor’s appointments, advocating for your health, why BMI is bullshit, and more… including why “the biggest loser” might just be the worst show to ever soil our tv screens.

episode 6 is here and it’s all about representation: what it means to me, my experiences with it in the acting industry (and other industries), and where i’d love to see it go in the future. 🐘🤎

today i’m back with my first episode of 2024 after a much-needed break. i chat about the current state of my mental health and reflect on the highs and lows of the holidays as someone on a self love journey.🐘🤎

buckle up, we’re getting vulnerable again! in my last episode of 2023, i take you through part 2 of my personal journey and chat about where i am today. 🐘🤎

take you through my personal journey with my body: what’s been helpful, what’s been harmful, and what’s stuck with me ‘til today. there’s a LOT to unpack, so stay tuned for part 2… but for now, sit back and relax while i take you through all my lumpy and bumpy eras. 🐘🤎

this spicy episode dives into my fierce love for fashion and deep frustrations with the plus-size shopping experience. we also chat about how to navigate this experience, which stores & brands are doing it right, and my take on personal style. 🐘🤎

this episode is a short but sweet lil’ intro where i tell you a bit about me & my body positivity journey, get some general housekeeping out of the way, and set the stage for all the conversations (and let’s be real, ‘tude) to come.🐘🤎
