Workplace Health Initiatives: Supportive or Subtle Fat Shaming?

from Kate and Isaiah Living Large · host Katelin & Isaiah

In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we’re diving into workplace health initiatives — the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable. From step challenges and free gym memberships to “wellness” emails and team fitness competitions… are employers truly trying to support our health? Or are some programs quietly adding pressure, comparison, and unrealistic expectations? As two people living in bigger bodies, we share our honest experiences with workplace wellness programs — what felt supportive, what felt performative, and what completely missed the mark. We also talk about: Do corporate wellness programs actually work? Are they inclusive of obese employees? When does “encouragement” turn into pressure? Should workplaces even be involved in our health? What real support could actually look like If you’ve ever felt motivated by a wellness perk — or uncomfortable during a team health challenge — this episode is for you.
