Welcome back to Friendship Chemistry!
In this episode, Hannah and Alivia open up about body image, fitness, and the lifelong struggle with weight and self-perception. They trace their journeys from teenage years, through school and college, and into adulthood, sharing stories of running, yo-yo diets, chocolate obsessions, and the pressure of trying to maintain a “goal weight.”
This episode was inspired by their very first listener email, asking them to tackle this topic. Hannah and Alivia reflect honestly on how relationships, stress, grief, and daily life have shaped their attitudes toward their bodies, and how even with healthy routines and personal progress, the mental side of body image can linger.
Raw, relatable, and full of honesty, this episode is about more than numbers on a scale—it’s about the lifelong work of self-acceptance.
