“I am a “straight sized” white CIS female and I am SO grateful to have found this podcast. It is helping to rewire the head of bad wiring I’d been issued by this society. I started with the first episode and am working my way forward. I am dreading the day that I get all caught-up and will have to...”Read full review »

“This podcast has been such a breath of fresh air. It’s talking about being fat and how it intersects with everything else. It also gets real about the struggle of being fat in our world and all the BS that comes with that. Which makes being body positive so dang hard. I really enjoy Jana and...”Read full review »

“Since the first episode I heard, I downloded this podcast and never miss one. Jana is a very talented (and funny) host and I learn so much from her and her guests. The fact that Jana can speak from her perspective as a Native woman (she is Lakota Sioux) and a woman of size means the converstaions...”Read full review »

“Such a good show! It’s been a big part of helping me dismantle my own internalized fat phobia and recognize disordered eating patterns through my life, AND seek work to challenge my privilege as a white colonizer transmasculine person navigating body image in American culture.
Thanks for being...”Read full review »

“I lost respect as soon as I read the article where Jana Schmieding tried to claim she was fat-shamed by the staff of the Harry Potter ride at Universal. They wouldn't let her on the ride because the seat belt would fit around her. You were not kicked out, you were politely taken aside and...”Read full review »
