Episode One
Trigger Warning: this recording mentions the terms obse/obsity, eating disorders/disordered eating, weight and BMI. The word ‘fat’ is used as a neutral descriptor and very much in the spirit of fat positivity and fat acceptance.
We're here with Season 2! Kicking it off we spoke to Jessica Cadbury who is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor & HAES Nutritional Therapist. She gave us the rundown on how harmful diets really are, what it means to be healthy at every size, and how inaccurate the BMI scale really is. Not to be missed!

Trigger Warning: this episode discusses death and dying
The topic we try to avoid more than most; our demise. Why do we find it so difficult to discuss? In this episode, we chat with Sue Rabbich, a Soul Midwife and Death Cafe facilitator, who shares her uplifting views on this uncomfortable subject. Is there a way to reframe death so we can learn to make peace with it?

Episode Three
What do you do when you get the most devastating news of your life? Do you give up? Do you fight? Or do you turn to an ancient Roman philosophy for guidance? Amy Tindale was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in her 30s and found that the teachings of the Stoic philosophy were the perfect antidote to her toughest days. In this episode, Amy discusses her diagnosis and how she chose to take a more holistic approach to cancer recovery that ultimately helped save her life.
