*CW: discussions of eating disorders, medical fatphobia and weight stigma 20:45-37:02*

What a joy to have political wellness educator, fierce femme, and professional Instagram Boomeranger Melissa Fabello on the show! Melissa and Caitlin talk about wellness education work on Instagram, Melissa's brilliant consulting work (Caitlin is a former client!), and her research into how women with anorexia experience sexuality and sensuality.
