About this listen

 Hi, friends! In this episode, listen in as Dr. SexyFat and Suzy dig in with Grace Hamner, creator of the Plus Size Database. Grace, growing up as a member of the very conservative Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS or Mormonism), didn't develop the vocabulary to talk about the extreme pain in her vulva and vagina until after she married and had two children. Her journey to get a diagnosis of vulvodynia led her down a path of questioning everything; her marriage, her sexuality, her faith, and her agency in her own body.

The Plus Size Database was created to give something back to the fat community, in the form of a large directory of businesses that cater to the needs of people in larger bodies. Grace started it for her own use and realized other people needed the resource, too. And she's right!

Thanks for listening, and always, be fat, be fab and be free! Who loves ya, babes? WE DO.
