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.
