What happens when you ask your husband for his unfiltered opinions on diet culture, fitness myths, and wellness fads? You get Hot Takes with Rob—a lighthearted, totally unscripted episode where Rob and I riff on everything from gym selfies and cheat days to dad bods, fat jokes in movies, and whether "no pain, no gain" still has a place in our lives.
Expect laughter, surprising insights, and some real talk about body image, food rules, and why the number on the scale doesn’t tell the full story. We definitely didn’t agree on everything—but that’s the point.
In this episode, we cover:
- Are gym selfies empowering or cringey?
- Why cheat days felt self-destructive to Rob
- How going vegetarian (ish) works in our marriage
- The double standard of the dad bod
- Fat jokes in media—and why they still matter
- Emotional eating (yep, men do it too)
- Buying bigger clothes: defeat or self-care?
- The real reason we ditched our bathroom scale
- Why Rob says "life is better without the scorecard"
Whether you’re in a relationship or just love seeing how these everyday conversations play out in real life, this episode offers a refreshing, funny, and relatable take on what it means to live beyond the rules of diet culture.
