On today’s episode of Good Bodies, Emily and Lauren share their first ever listener submitted (drum roll please) Good Body Gain from someone who just got their first massage. The listener detailed her hang ups with massage as a queer person in a bigger body but also reported that she found an inviting body positive spa where she ended up having not only a great massage but a healing experience overall. Our hosts share their own personal experiences and hang ups with massage while offering up some advice when it comes to advocating for your needs (especially if you’re a paying customer okay?!) Then, they close with a Scoop about how Vanessa Williams decided to stop the botox at age 61 which prompts a conversation about the ridiculous term “aging gracefully.”
