77. How to Embrace Your Height and Size

Let’s be real, being the bigger friend in your friend group sucks sometimes: not being able to share clothes, shop at the same stores, and hearing people thinner than you complain about their bodies. We receive messages from listeners all the time requesting advice on how to handle these situations. Raeann and Kristina have both been the bigger friend, in size and height, and know that it can feel alienating. But they’ve also come a long way in their confidence journeys and have plenty of good advice to share. So, we’re talking about how to change your mindset and embrace your height and size in this episode!

“You can’t change people’s opinions necessarily. If someone thinks you’re fat or too tall, they’re gonna think that. You have to really work on changing your own perception of yourself.” - Kristina

What we talk about:

• How to move past negative comments on social media

• Times in Rae and K’s past when they’ve been uncomfortable in their bodies

• How to change your mindset around your size

• How to handle unwarranted comments from men about your size

• How to be honest about your experience with your friends and help them understand your position

• What helps Raeann and Kristina to feel empowered and proud of their size

• Benefits of choosing clothing that fits and compliments your body

• Ask away: Is it wrong for a married man to go to lunch with a female coworker?

“Fuck yeah, we are tall, gorgeous, Amazonian, bad-ass women. It’s all about changing the mindset that we need to take up less space. Own the fact that that is your power. If you are tall and curvy, you are fucking gorgeous, and you have to tell yourself that. And (your mindset) will start to change.” - Raeann
