Full Disclosure: 

This episode is discussing some triggering and sensitive topics. We openly discuss about Body Talk, Eating Disorders / Disordered Eating, Diet Culture as well as some explicit language. Our Goal is to assist in educating our community about this subject.

In this episode we converse with Sam Holstein a Des Moines "Lola" who wears many "Professional Hats". Everything from Social Media Marketing to Make -Up Artist. But that is not why we talked with her today. 

Sam Opens up about what it is like being a Fat Athlete and unapologetically living in a body deemed unacceptable. She goes deep into her experiences of being shamed and bullied. She also discusses her struggle with disordered eating, constant body talk and diet culture while learning to be her own advocate. 

We encourage our audience to listen with an open mind and heart. We hope you take away a new understanding regarding this subject. Please sit back and enjoy this episode. 

Many Thanks!  

The Lolas (Meddy & Annie)
