Born This Weigh
Welcome to Born This Weigh. Each week, Kari Bloom and Lisa Blake get real about weight loss, body image, and mental health. They unpack fat-girl wiring, critique the pop culture that shaped diet culture, and share how it all impacts confidence, identity, and everyday life. Honest, funny, and unfiltered — smaller bodies, same chaos. Follow and leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review to support the show.
