THE F-WORD PODCAST + CROHNICALLY BLONDE

GUYS! Super exciting news. I know I just took the plunge and finally decide my own podcast but I also had the amazing opportunity to be a guest on one of my new favorite podcasts, "The F-Word Podcast". I am absolutely in love with their message and everything they stand for. I really can't do it justice with my explanation so I took the words straight from their website.

"We are Jackie and Emily--two friends who decided to start a podcast to openly discuss issues that are sometimes seen as a taboo in order to create a more understanding and empathetic world.

We are a body positive podcast. What exactly is the F-word?  This is open to your interpretation. One of the F-words we often talk about is 'Fat.' We hope to tackle the negative connotations that society has created and instead promote self love and acceptance for all. Another F-word we are passionate about and incorporate in our podcast is 'Feminism.' We believe people of all shapes and sizes deserve to have the same respect and opportunities. To us, this fits directly in with feminism.
​
We believe that through the stories of others we can grow, learn to empathize, and understand one another better. We believe that everyone is beautiful just the way they are. Our mission is to empower others and encourage everyone to love and embrace themselves and the people around them. We hope to share stories from people of every size and background in order to create more connection and compassion."

Luckily I had the chance to use their platform to share my story about overcoming anorexia and how that fight plays into my battle with Crohn's. I have never really shared my full story struggling with anorexia on any public forum and I really wasn't sure why (I did share a bit here). I just don't think I was ready to fully embrace it until now. Well, I ripped the bandaid off and here I am. Even more vulnerable and open and authentic than ever and I did it because I have seen the power sharing your story can have on others.

Please take a listen if you are curious about hearing my story and take a listen to the other episodes as well the hear stories from other amazing people who have struggled through a variety of different issues and who are brave enough to share their stories. Every episode is a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.

You can check out the podcast on their website HERE or on iTunes HERE.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!
