Join The Club: https://patreon.com/bornthisweighpodThis week’s episode focuses on three very real conversations:📺 Stranger Things’ Derek What Derek’s character brings up about fear, survival, and being the one who cannot keep up, how fat bodies are portrayed in high stakes stories, and why those moments still hit so close to home.✨ 2026 Intentions Without the New Year BS Why we’re done with punishment goals, how we’re approaching 2026 with intention instead of control, and what it looks like to stop waiting for a “better” version of yourself to begin living.🎭 Aidy Bryant Why Aidy Bryant remains our blueprint for living now. From Shrill to SNL, we talk representation, visibility, and what changes when fat women are allowed to be full, complex humans on screen.We also talk concert crying as nervous system regulation, body image, identity shifts, and why joy does not require permission.If you’ve ever felt like you were holding your breath until the scale changed, this episode is for you.✨ Hit follow so you don’t miss new episodes every week✨ If you like what you hear, leave us a rating or review.
