“Being kind to myself is the most badass, difficult thing I’ve done in my life.”
- Vinny Welsby

It's finally here! The Let Us Eat Cake podcast is back with a fresh new approach! Hannah and Ali are thrilled to bring you an incredible lineup of powerful stories in our new season, "The One About Stories." In our first episode, Ali and Hannah are joined by Vinny Welsby, a badass world-leading expert on dismantling anti-fat bias and diet culture. Coming from a background with poverty and abuse, Vinny is now a TEDx speaker, best-selling author of the book “Fierce Fatty: Love Your Body and Live Like The Queen You Already Are,” and host of the Fierce Fatty Podcast. From survival to self-love, Vinny kicks off the season with an inspiring story of their journey from spending years searching for the “cure” for fatness, to discovering Health at Every Size and becoming a prominent activist in the fight against anti-fat bias and dismantling diet culture. Is BED a food addiction, or is there more to it? What do I do if my partner wants me to lose weight? Can I be healthy and fat? How can I love my fat body when I live in a world that values thin privilege? Is fat really such a bad word? Listen in as Vinny, Ali and Hannah dive into these questions and more in an eye-opening and empowering conversation. Get ready to challenge your beliefs about fat bodies, learn new perspectives, and embrace a journey toward self-love and body acceptance and saying F YOU to anti-fat bias!
