Raw emotion!!

I love this podcast because Bri is so real and raw about how she is feeling and has a way of discussing the same raw emotion with her guests. Her topics are very good and she is amazing! Keep it coming!! 🙂

In honor of the sexist comments often left on woman-hosted pods

Here’s a loving, feminist take on Bri’s work, just in case someone out there decides to join the aforementioned group.
Bri hosts this show with such an admirable blend of vulnerability and confidence. She knows the value of the messages shared on this podcast, but knows that they can be hard for some to hear or share. She speaks with conviction and humility about her work and her experiences. I also find her tone so gentle and reassuring — something crucial in covering such sensitive material. Bri is aware that while her own experience is valuable and worth sharing, experiences with body shame and disordered eating happen to bodies of all shapes, sizes, colors, and abilities, and she works to give a range of people the opportunity a voice and a space on this podcast.
Thanks for your work, Bri. ❤️
