It Takes a Village: Alyssa’s Story 👑⚔️❤️🔥

It Takes a Village: Alyssa’s Story 👑⚔️❤️🔥
“Keep going.” When we asked Alyssa what she would tell her younger self now, “keep going” was her answer. Alyssa has no interest in changing her story; she doesn’t want to tell that little girl how to avoid the hurt. She just wants her to keep going. That little girl and her village brought Alyssa to where she is today, and we are so grateful that she made that choice before, and she’d make it again. Join us this week as we interview our favorite cool kid with her heart on fire for the work she does and the man she loves. ❤️🔥😍✌🏼 — XO Rebecca, Ally + Alyssa Want to be featured on the podcast?

BONUS: On the Road with The Fab Fatties

BONUS: On the Road with The Fab Fatties
“We accept the love we think we deserve.” - Stephen Chbosky It’s no secret that we’ve had our own ups and downs in our lives and in our relationships. It’s as we navigate through these that we’re finding ourselves along the way. It isn’t always easy, especially when you make it a spectator sport. We’re inviting the Internet into our lives on a weekly basis, and we’re letting it all hang out. Some days, that’s really hard, and other days, it’s incredibly rewarding. But on all days, we learn. We learn what is most important to us, and we learn what we will no longer accept for ourselves, for each other, and for our beloved communities. Call us delusional, but we think we each deserve the world, so we’re gonna go get it for each other. 💖 — XO Rebecca, Alyssa + Ally Want to be featured on the podcast?

Oprah: Shame, Blame & the Weight-Loss Selling Game*

Oprah: Shame, Blame & the Weight-Loss Selling Game*
“I took on the shame that the world gave to me.” - Oprah This was such a powerful start to what we hoped would be, at the very least, a balanced conversation surrounding our beloved fat community and the current prescription weight-loss craze. Unfortunately, we were left disappointed, angry, and, honestly, sad. Join us this week as we dive into this hour-long special meant to alleviate the pain that diet culture and the weight-loss industry has inflicted upon us for the majority of our lives, only to find out that the message is still very much the same. This is a sensitive topic and an all-around sensitive conversation, and we hope you’ll take care of you and your mental wellbeing as we navigate these very murky waters together. ♥️ — XO Alyssa, Rebecca + Ally *Not the actual title of the special, but it kinda feels like it should’ve been. 🤷🏻♀️ Want to be featured on the podcast?

Talk to Me Nice

Can you imagine a world where adults were more careful about the words they used around you? Can you imagine the money you could’ve saved in therapy bills?

Selling Out Ozempic
Sold out in stores. Sold out online. Have any of your favorite social media personalities sold out to the latest weight loss “miracle?” Now, don’t get us wrong. This is an extremely complicated topic, and we’ve got extremely complicated feelings. One of us is medically prescribed the “Shot-That-Must-Not-Be-Named,” and one of us has had weight loss surgery, and all of us have tried more than one way to shrink ourselves in a world obsessed with “fitting in.” Does that make us experts? No. Does that make us four human beings with very real and very valid feelings? It sure does. Let’s get into it! As always, if you love what we’re doing, give us a like, give us a follow, hit that subscribe button, and leave us fabulous reviews! And, if you don’t love what we’re doing, have the day you deserve! — XO Alyssa, Rebecca, Miria + Ally 💖 , as many of you know and love her, for allowing us to share a piece of your wisdom this week! 🥰

In Style…or Just in Size?
“Is it my style, or is it just my size?” This is the question we’re digging into this week as we discuss plus size fashion and our experiences with it or the lack thereof. We’re covering it all from shopping trips we missed out on and special occasion dresses we had to settle for to brands we currently love and how amazing it is to finally be able to swap clothes with our friends. You don’t want to miss the *subtle* shade and the loud laughs we’ve got in store for you this week, so come hang out with us! — XO Miria, Alyssa, Rebecca + Ally 💖

The Curse of Curves

The Curse of Curves
As lifelong fat gals, we’ve seen and heard it all. Trust us, no one is better prepared with self-deprecating humor than a girl who has, quite literally, been the butt of hundreds of cruel jokes from an unfairly young age. Finding community to relate our lived experiences with has truly been pivotal for each of us, and we’d like to give you a glimpse into some of those core memories. Join us as we discuss how our curves have impacted our lives from elementary school to the here and now, for better or worse. Sometimes, they’re a blessing and sometimes a curse.

New Year. Same Rear.
Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by New Year's resolutions. Hi, we're here to put an end to all things "New Year, New You." Join us, your fav Four Fab Fatties, as we discuss our thoughts on why reinventing yourself as the clock strikes twelve each year is just simply not the vibe anymore. If you also get the ick from being told that last year's version of you wasn't good enough, then stick around for our perspectives on this hot topic and a whole lot of laughs along the way.
