Dr. Joshua Wolrich (or as I call him, Dr. Josh) made a name for himself on social media as a doctor willing to speak out on subjects like diet myths (aka “nutribollocks” as he calls them) as well as weight stigma and food insecurities and so much more. After he himself went through a weight loss journey to discover a lot of the deceptions within diet culture, Dr. Josh then took those experiences to lead him into learning more and breaking down a lot of diet myths, like “good” or “bad” foods, since food holds no morality. This conversation is meant to make us think, learn, or unlearn while we also share the commonalities within our own experiences with weight loss and diet culture. With his new book Food Isn’t Medicine, Dr. Josh is here to push back against the mass amounts of bad health advice, with just a bit of humour of course, too.
About the book: “Food Isn't Medicine wades through nutritional science (both good and bad) to demystify the common diet myths that many of us believe without questioning. If you have ever wondered whether you should stop eating sugar, try fasting, juicing or 'alkaline water', or struggled through diet after diet (none of which seem to work), this book will be a powerful wake-up call. Drawing on the latest research and delivered with a dose of humour, it not only liberates us from the destructive belief that weight defines health but also explains how to spot the misinformation we are bombarded with every day.”
You can follow Dr. Joshua Wolrich on Instagram @DrJoshuaWolrich and find his book on preorder now, coming out on April 15, 2021.

Imagine ordering your Starbucks coffee and not being allowed to say what name to put on the cup? Well, that happened to today's guest. Prominent wedding dress designer _______ ______ (we literally can’t name her) that you may know from a show such as “Say Yes To The Dress'' after a legal battle, lost the rights to her name, her social media (over ONE MILLION FOLLOWERS), her designs and more. Confused? Yeah, us too. So we brought her on to talk about it, use it as a cautionary tale for personal brands and where is the line between PERSON and BRAND. Where will she go, and who will she be? We’re going to talk about it all. Much of this is shocking, but also very exciting for what’s next for our friend!

An ever-evolving conversation around periods, Bloody Btches brings menstruation to the forefront of their work. To normalize them, discuss them over social media, share and encourage the sharing of period stories and, finally and most importantly - to create awareness around period poverty. With the current state of the world, period poverty has hit harder than ever, making it super difficult for many people to have access to pads, tampons, cups, etc. Nayanka and Zoe met in college and since then have been researching and exploring ways to help our lower-income communities that don't have access to menstrual products. Can you imagine having to pick food over pads?!Their work is fascinating, informative and truly transforming lives as they have worked to become this non-profit organization with periods at the center of it all.
You can follow, get involved and learn so much more from @BloodyBtches on IG!

Meredith Shaw has a vast career from country music, model, inclusivity style-expert, radio show host and even cook show host! Her story, while ever-evolving, has also brought so many lessons and life tools along with it, which we’re so glad she could share some with us today. Meredith is a shining light, and her career is truly one to watch and be inspired by in all its “scrappy” ways from the get-go, like seeing a lack of representation in inclusive styling...and then doing it herself...on TV! Makes you wonder when you see yourself missing from a space, how can you show up in it? And maybe, with a story like Meredith’s, believe that you can. Because what do we always say? “I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m doing it anyway”
You can find Meredith and EVERYTHING she’s up to on IG @MeredithShaw

Dr. Edith Eger was just a teenager in 1944 when she experienced one of the worst evils the human race has ever known. As a Jew living in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, she and her family were sent to Auschwitz, the heinous death camp. Her parents were sent to the gas chambers but Edith’s bravery kept her and her sister alive. Toward the end of the war Edith and other prisoners had been moved to Austria. On May 4, 1945 a young American soldier noticed her hand moving slightly amongst a number of dead bodies. He quickly summoned medical help and brought her back from the brink of death. (via dreditheger.com)
Here to share with us what she hopes will benefit the younger generations to live boldly with hope, renowned psychologist Dr. Edith Eger joins us for a powerful conversation that will leave us all with something to change our lives. At 93 years old, Dr. Edith Eger is out with her newest book, a follow up from her bestseller “The Choice” called “The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life” and she’s here to share a taste of those lessons with us today.

Winners of the Gay Travel Awards in 2020, Christine and Kirstie of @OnAirplaneMode__ are here to share with us how they got started, and how a tripod changed their lives. What first began their passion for photography in 2019 with an iPhone capturing pictures of adventures all throughout SouthEast Asia, grew to more with creative photos and videos. Then, they noticed more people (especially within the LGBTQ+ community) began to reach out to them asking for advice on how to travel. So they began and now continue helping people explore their sense of adventure, without fear. But what are travel bloggers doing now without travel? Come hear how their story and how they’re keeping the adventure alive.

Today, Bailey joins so we can vent/cry/share/gasp over all things Britney, her life, the rumours and the #FreeBritney movement. But most importantly, what did we learn?

“If self-love and healing were on the other side of discomfort, would you have the courage to face your fears?" - Laura Hesp, Inclusive Love
Last year, Laura made a social media post about the “sister wound” and I found myself replaying that post in my mind over and over again. So in today’s episode Laura comes on the show to discuss the sister wound, how it played into our friendship history, and exploring healing from it. Laura is what she calls a “creative weirdo” but she’s someone who, for me personally, is always challenging to look inwards, be authentic and show up for you.
