Revisit: Normalizing Thigh Chafing and Boob Sweat with Katie Sturino

Katie Sturino loves her body. But the advocate, entrepreneur, and author put a lot of effort and hard work into getting to that place of body acceptance. She and Reshma dive into Katie’s accidental body acceptance journey, which began after her divorce when Katie says she just wanted to get a revenge body. They also discuss where so many of us get our insecurities from, how to shut down (mostly) well-meaning relatives when they start body-shaming you, and normalizing things like thigh chafing and boob sweat via her company Megababe. Plus, does Katie think society is moving back to a place where thinness is back in vogue due to the explosion of GLP-1s like Ozempic?
