I had so much fun in my recent interview with Dot from the Larger Living podcast! We covered a lot of ground around fat activism, fat athletes, medical weight stigma, and being a funny fat girl as part of Fatch Comedy and more, and we had a blast doing it. Check out my interview and others including Isabel Foxen Duke and Elyse Resch at the links below!
