About this listen
In this deeply moving final episode, host Taili Carter speaks with senior Joy, who shares her personal journey with weight-based bullying starting as early as third grade. From being publicly ridiculed during snack time to internalizing society’s harsh beauty standards, Joy reflects on how the pain of exclusion shaped her self-esteem, friendships, eating habits, and mental health.
Together, Taili and Joy explore:
- The long-term impact of being labeled and dismissed as “fat”
- How early bullying distorted Joy’s sense of worth
- The emotional toll of body dysmorphia and toxic dieting
- Why support systems—especially mothers—matter
- And how healing begins with self-love and self-definition
With compassion, humor, and raw honesty, Joy reminds listeners that what others say about you doesn’t define you—and that confidence isn’t about appearance, it’s about ownership of your story.
✨ A must-hear for anyone who's ever felt unseen, unworthy, or unloved because of their body.
