Welcome to the Unapologetically Fat Podcast, where I encourage plus-size women to find a sense of liberation through body acceptance & radical self-love! In today's episode, I delve into the meaning of body positivity and its roots. I also share a fun new audience segment - Body Positivity Wins - and share the first win from a listener (who happens to be a friend too) ;-)
