In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked topic of internalized fatphobia—how it manifests, its impact on self-worth, and the ways it shows up in dating. I’ll share personal stories about my dad and sister, their struggles with obesity, and how those experiences shaped my own views on body image and attraction.
We’ll also introduce a concept called "boomerasking"—a communication style that might be sabotaging your first-date conversations without you even realizing it. Are you unknowingly making potential connections feel like job applicants instead of romantic prospects? Let’s break it down.
This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt conflicted about attraction and body image, struggled with family influences on dating preferences, or wondered why some conversations feel so forced. Tune in for an honest, thought-provoking discussion!
