Hey Rebel. 

In this powerful and uplifting episode, I’m joined by comedian Lauren Hope Krass, who uses humor to challenge anti-fat bias, diet culture, and the unrealistic expectations placed on all of us—especially women in bigger bodies.

Lauren shares her journey from self-deprecating humor to empowering comedy, how she found her voice (and her people), and the impact of resilience and body acceptance in a world that constantly tries to shrink us.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Lauren uses comedy to challenge fatphobia and diet culture

  • The realities of anti-fat bias—including career discrimination

  • The shift from self-depricating humor to self-empowerment

  • Why finding your people matters more than changing for others

  • & Behind-the-scenes stories from her standup career


If you’ve ever felt judged for simply existing or struggled to fully accept yourself, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to change to be worthy—and that laughter can be one of the most powerful forms of resistance.
