A little treat for you on this blustery Friday—an extra snippet from our first episode with the brilliant Megan Crabbe. Our conversation was so great we couldn’t fit it all into the main podcast, so here’s the part you didn’t hear.Megan was one of the original trailblazers of the Body Positivity movement—calling out diet culture long before it became a trend. In this bonus clip, we talk about how she found herself at the forefront of that shift, and she shares more about her personal journey with queerness.I adore Megan. I could listen to her speak forever—hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Love it or hate it, weight-loss drug Ozempic has become a part of queer culture. But what’s driving it? Are we witnessing the collapse of the body positivity movement? And do we actually know what the long-term risks are? Joining us is body positivity icon Megan Crabbe now officially part of the HS family as my new co-host. And where better to start with than an episode you all requested about Ozempic. Some of you love it. Some of you hate it. All of you have opinions. Click play to listen now.
