You Don’t Have To Be The Same Size As Your Partner Ft. Alicia Mccarvell

Aleen is joined by TikTok creator Alicia Mccarvell (5.6 million followers) — she’s known for using humor to tackle difficult convos around body image and self-worth. The episode starts off with Alicia telling us how she became a content creator and why the world needs to stop judging everyone just based on their looks. Alicia then talks about how she went viral (like very viral), why she thinks commenters are constantly trying to make her feel like an inadequate wife. Hint: It has something to do with f*cked up societal body standards. Throughout the episode, Alicia is very candid about her experiences – she tells us how she missed out on a chunk of her life due to her body, why she grieves for the time she lost and then she shares some of the pivotal moments that have shaped her body acceptance journey. To wrap up, Alicia gives DST’ers encouragement to get through challenging periods of lacking self-acceptance.
