The “body positivity” movement promised self-love, but in reality, it’s often a detour away from real health. In this brutally honest solo episode, Matty exposes the hypocrisy in fat acceptance narratives and asks the questions few dare to ask.
On this episode we covered:
- Why “fat acceptance” advocates keep secretly dieting and getting surgery
- How emotional eating is weaponised by culture and ignored by medicine
- The painful reason most people still hate themselves after weight loss
- Why your shame and embarrassment might be your body asking you to change
- How Ozempic and weight loss surgery offer false hope without real healing

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
