Reviews
this podcast is pure warmth and kindness. I really appreciate how the conversations flow so easily and the topics are shared in a down to earth way (as opposed to academic).

This is a lovely, enlightening, mind-broadening podcast about fat joy and liberation. Real, deep topics with a light touch. Highly recommend to fat people wanting community and straight-sized people wanting to be allies.

one of the voices that feeds actual logic to our diet-culture-corrupted brains. thank you, sophia for your poems, ease, and resistance, and for always bringing it back to joy. 💗

For every version of me that tried to be thin, for every diet and fad and cleanse I did to try and claim my inner thinness, this podcast helps throw that in the garbage and claim the amazing version of me that just wants to take up space.

Sophia here, and this podcast, my podcast, IS my fave. It’s a total joy to create each week, and I’m so grateful to every person who listens. And hey, if I’m not going to sing my own praises, should I even be running this podcast?? 😍

If you like Maintenance Phase you will love this podcast. It is so relaxing to listen to other fat people’s stories and see how many of the same threads are woven between all of us. Sophia has so many great guests, some I’ve heard of and others I’ve been so happy to have found! Keep up the great...Read full review »

Sophia provides a much-needed platform for larger-bodied people to share their stories in a safe, supportive space. The interviews are thoughtful, interesting and insightful. More then anything, I love how the show celebrates body diversity and gives a big middle finger to our weight-stigmatizing...Read full review »

I’m new to my path of reclaiming my body from the diet industry and the pervasive anti fat culture we live in. Sofia has been the best companion on this path. She’s introduced me via her interviews to amazing guests. Her questions are sharp and insightful and she’s very open and honest about her...Read full review »

If you have a twisted inner monologue about bodies that you think is your voice (most of us do!), this show will set you straight in the most positive, helpful way. Listening is like having a long held splinter removed from your paw.

Sifting through various episodes, I did encounter some interesting perspectives. As a formerly fat person who lost 160 lbs in 2008 and who has maintained that weight loss for coming up on 15 years, I find this weekly celebration of defeatism profoundly disturbing. Clearly, “Coach Sophia” has...Read full review »

I found this podcast after the Aubrey Gordon episode and binged all the episodes available immediately afterwards. As a straight sized person my whole life, this podcast has allowed me to learn more about the experiences and perspectives of fat people in their own words versus hearing what...Read full review »

Every episode so far has been so thoughtful, so resonant and so joyful! The episode with Luna was especially radical for me. Thank you!

I just finished listening to this excellent podcast and have a real feeling of connection and a sense of having found “my people” here. Living in a fat body brings plenty of challenges with it. Thank you Sophia for acknowledging all of this AND for exploring the joy of taking up space!
