Fat-Talk Nation by Susan Greenhalgh with Amanda Levitt

TRIGGER WARNING: Use of the O-words All good things must come to an end my friends. This podcast has saved me in a multitude of ways. The books I've read for the show, the people I've met have changed my life. I am a different, a better person because I did this show. I am also a more confident speaker and connector to others because I had a podcast. I just feel so grateful for the opportunity to run a show about something I love and connect to you, the listeners. I am so, so grateful you listened, subscribed and enjoyed. But life has taken me in a different direction and so (at least for now) after episode 80 (stick around for that one!) the show will be on a break. I really do hope to come back in the new year but until then, maybe you wan't to check out my guest's podcast! Amanda Levitt is the host of a podcast called Fat Theory Book Club so not only does she read body liberation books but she also talks to readers and authors alike about the ideas in them. It is worth your time to check it out BUT FIRST (lol), check out my chat with Amanda where we talk about Fat-Talk Nation by Susan Greenhalgh.
