Kate and Isaiah Living Large

In this episode of Kate & Isaiah Living Large, we’re diving into a topic most people never think about—what happens at the end of life, and how obesity plays an unexpected role. From the practical challenges funeral homes face, to the surprising realities of cremation, burial, equipment, and dignity in death, we explore the parts of the journey no one prepares you for. We talk openly, honestly, and with compassion about how larger bodies are treated after death, what families should know, and why these conversations matter for anyone living in a bigger body. This episode is not about fear—it’s about awareness, respect, and understanding the full picture of life…and death. Join us for a conversation that’s deep, eye-opening, and more important than most people realize.

In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we dig into a topic a lot of people feel but rarely talk about openly — how aging and obesity shape each other. As we get older, the rules of our bodies seem to change overnight. Muscle loss, slower metabolism, joint pain, fatigue… everything hits differently, and living in a bigger body adds another layer that can feel overwhelming. We share our personal experiences with aging, the fears that come with it, and the awkward truth that some things simply get harder. But we also talk about what we’re learning — how to adapt, how to be kind to ourselves, and how to build a life that works with our bodies instead of fighting against them. If you’ve ever wondered why “getting older” feels extra complicated when you’re living large, this episode is for you. Let’s get real, get honest, and learn to age on our own terms.

We share our personal experiences, how we cope when health worries hit, and what it means to care for yourself with compassion instead of fear.

In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we continue our deep dive into John Candy: I Like Me, exploring the weight of fame, the pressure to perform happiness, and the powerful legacy John Candy left behind. 🇨🇦 John wasn’t just a comedian — he was a symbol of warmth, kindness, and vulnerability. But behind the laughter was a man carrying enormous pressure from Hollywood, the media, and himself. We talk about how fame can amplify insecurities, how health stories get twisted into shame, and what compassion really looks like when we talk about weight and wellness. We also explore how his story connects to the way people — especially those in bigger bodies — are still treated today. From social media “highlight reels” to celebrity expectations, John Candy’s life reminds us that being loved publicly doesn’t always mean being okay privately. 🎙️ In this episode we talk about: The hidden pressure of being the “lovable funny guy” How fame and fear can shape someone’s choices The line between health concern and public judgment Why empathy matters more than assumptions What John Candy’s legacy teaches us about kindness, both to others and ourselves 💬 What part of John Candy’s story stayed with you?

We explore how that knowledge shaped his choices, his humour, and the way he connected with people. From his larger-than-life characters to his quiet moments off-screen, John seemed to know that time was precious. We talk about how that urgency can both inspire and haunt us — especially for those of us living in bigger bodies, where society often links size to health and fate. 🎙️ In this episode we talk about: How John Candy’s awareness of mortality influenced his work and lifestyle The balance between living joyfully and living carefully How comedy can be a way of making peace with fear The ongoing conversation about health, weight, and compassion 💬 Did the documentary change how you see John Candy?
