Small Town, Big Pressure: A Conversation about Body Positivity, Popularity, and *Releasing Weight*

Nikki is joined by her long-time friend, (and first time guest on the podcast!!!) Mollie, to talk all about growing up in a small town - the mental, emotional, and PHYSICAL changes that have occurred as a result of our upbringing. We get real honest and real vulnerable, jumping into a conversation about being a "bit bigger" than the societal average of a small, tight-knit community. How did this affect the both of us in the long-term? What happened as a result? And where do we stand now, especially within the larger debate regarding body positivity, "plus-size" vs. "straight-sized," and reclaiming the word "fat"?
