133. Going Deeper with Rosie on Weight Loss: Navigating Societal Pressure & Embracing Individuality

Published: June 27, 2023, 10 a.m.

We are so freaking excited to introduce our new series, Going Deeper with Rosie, where we are going to dig a little deeper into more vulnerable and super important topics we really care about. We have brought on the perfect person for the job, our dear friend Rosie. Honestly this girl has a way with words. Whenever we\u2019re having an issue in our lives or if we\u2019re really struggling with something Rosie helps us navigate through our feelings and we always leave the conversation feeling so much better. We hope this series provides a deeper connection, understanding and exploration of ideas that influence our confidence, and ultimately help us become more confident in ourselves.

In this episode, we\u2019re diving deeper into the complex issue of weight loss: Why does it feel like everyone is losing weight right now? Is it a bad thing to want to lose weight? Are we allowed to be in bigger bodies and feel healthy and strong? We talk about our personal thoughts and journeys around weight loss as women who love being in bigger bodies, and explore how we can connect more deeply to our own individuality and values. Community and representation play a huge role in this journey for us, and we hope this podcast will help you feel less alone if you\u2019re struggling with the same thing. We may not have all the answers, but we\u2019re not afraid to go there and be honest with how we\u2019re feeling now.\xa0

Make sure to let us know what topics you want us to dive deeper into with Rosie next month by sending us a DM on Instagram @confidentcollective!\xa0

There are certain things I still want to be able to grab ahold of in my body and I do not want them to disappear because they have been a part of my journey of coming home to myself.\xa0 I fought really hard to want to exist in this body, so I want to lose weight right now, but I do not want to erase myself. - Rosie
