**Trigger/Content Warning discussions of medical procedures, dieting, weight loss**

Anna is a Southern gal who will never stop being polite, but she is getting very real in this solo ep. Join Anna as she clues us in on her weight loss surgery, and her medical journey leading up to making that decision. She covers hard facts and logistics, dealing with pandemic related fat phobia, Ozempic, Metformin and helps us apply a more nuanced perspective on body positivity and health. 

If you are working on your relationship with your body at any weight, Anna’s candor will offer you space to examine your motivations and perhaps open a door to some new ways of moving forward. If you want to be a better, more inclusive human, this episode is the one to listen to.

Contact High Contact High Explore the world of art, entertainment, and politics through the red eyes of two best friends trying to learn how to be functioning human beings. Explicit THE HUMAN:NOW THE HUMAN:NOW Looking for that dose of positivity to lift your mood? Life doesn't always have to be all draining and negative.This podcast is exclusively all about positivity and how to navigate life.OUR PURPOSE IS TO MAKE POSITIVITY LOUDER!Join Kash and Parry as they discuss ideas around what it means to BE in this state of time and raise the vibration of POSITIVITY. Explicit This Human Thing Kat Ellis How do I be a human being? Isn't that what everyone's trying to figure out? On This Human Thing, Kat (that's me writing this description right now) and friends share ideas and stories regarding our human experiences. Just some laid back convos about spirituality, psychology, science, health, relationships, and how to make the most out of our time on this planet. Nothing is off-topic because everything is a part of the human experience. We question reality, dive into our personal journeys, and what we've learned from teachers and friends. I've found that good conversations are one of the things that make me feel the most alive and connected. I wanted to share these conversations to normalize the fact that no one really knows anything and we're all just trying to figure it out. We go deep, but keep it lighthearted. And above all, the one thing we really want from life is deep and authentic connection to ourselves and others. So let's go there.. We're all in this human thing together. Explicit The Whole Human Podcast The Whole Human Podcast Are you a human? Do you like listening to other humans? If you said Yes to both of those questions then this just may be the podcast for you...Do you love yourself? Do you love the life you live? Do you want to know how to do both of those things? If you want to find out how, and be simultaneously entertained, then this is definitely the podcast for you!Hello, my name is Charles and this podcast is simply me talking with another human or humans about many things, largely centering around Personal Growth and Development. The humans I have on this show are absolutely spectacular people and I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoy talking with them. We are all of us, including you, a Whole Human. Feeling Whole is about self acceptance, self love and radical authenticity. We talk about all that stuff and more, and we have fun while we're at it! Explicit
