Ep. 206: PSA: Someone else's weight is none of your business

Today we’re talking about weight, or rather, I’m talking about whether we should ever talk about weight when it’s nothing to do with our own body. Meaning, should we ever talk about someone else’s weight, whether it’s gone up or down, whether that’s 'good' or 'bad'. If at any point during this episode, there’s something you want to say or share, please do find me in the DMs on Twitter or Instagram @beautymepodcast or email me direct [email protected]. TW: Before I share my thoughts, I do want to let you know that I will touch upon eating disorders and miscarriage so if either of those subjects feel too heavy right now, please give this episode a miss. I want to point out this is not an episode about health and I also want to point out that this episode will not even get into how race, gender or disability impacts the conversation around weight –but that’s something I definitely want to explore another time so I’d love to hear from you if you want to have a conversation. Please let me know your thoughts; is it time we stopped talking about weight? If you’re listening on Spotify take part in the poll over there and let me know!
