Fatphobia isn’t just a “body image issue” — it’s a system rooted in control, shame, and exclusion. In this episode, Riah breaks down how fatphobia operates both inside and outside the queer community, how it mirrors other systems of oppression, and how it keeps us disconnected from our bodies and each other.

We’ll explore what liberation and fat queer joy actually look like, and how each of us can start dismantling internalized bias — in ourselves, our communities, and the spaces we create.

✨ Tarot pull of the week: Two of Wands

✨ Journal prompts:

1. What parts of my body story am I still holding onto, even if they no longer serve me?


2. What boundaries do I need to protect my body image from harmful spaces or conversations?


3. Imagine your future self has already stepped into full body acceptance and joy. What choices did they make to get there? How did they unlearn the old stories?
