A Tall Girl's Podcast

Every girl needs a tall bestie, right? That’s where I come in! Hosted by a tall girl named India, A Tall Girl’s Podcast is a podcast dedicated to helping (t)all girlies feel comfortable in their own skin and live their best lives. Growing up tall has taught me a thing or two (or maybe three) about embracing my individuality and finding the good things in what’s seemingly bad. And I’m here to spill the beans! Join me every Thursday for self-confidence tips, funny stories, my journey through life, and (of course) tall girl problems! Oh, and fun fact, you don’t have to be tall to tune in ;)

The experiences that tall women go through are honestly…pretty wild. 

If you’re a tall girly, you understand 110%. Yes, there are the fashion struggles like jeans hitting mid-calf, long sleeves not reaching your wrists, and not even finding clothes that fit your length. There are also the comments like “oh my gosh, you’re so big” or “are you sure you’re a woman?” and we can’t forget about the aggressive behavior. 

Like people will li...

If you’re a tall girl reading this right now, I’m sure you’ve struggled with clothing at some point in your life. Heck, you’re probably even struggling with clothing right now at this moment. Were you just online shopping? And trying to filter through them 32-inch inseam jeans? It’s okay; you don’t have to lie lol. It happens to the best of us. 

But yeah, clothing is probably the biggest tall girl problem….ever. 

There’s no doubt abo...

***Just a disclaimer: there are a few mentions of people being transphobic and using transphobic comments. Nothing too intense, just explaining a point while these terms are used. 

It’s no secret that some people view height as masculinity. 

Meaning tall women have often been seen as or called masculine. I’m sure we all know that lowkey. It happens to the best of us. And I’ve talked about it quite often on the pod. But what if some p...

Every tall girl knows the feeling of being the odd one out. 

In fact, I’m sure you were the one tall girl among your friends, classmates, teammates, or peers. You’d be a head taller than them to the point where other people would assume that you’re the random older sibling babysitting them. Or maybe that was just me and my situation lol. 

Your friends were able to share clothes with each other, but you can’t because your friends’ clo...

I’m sure you know about many of the tall girl stereotypes: masculine, intimidating, athlete, Amazon, etc. 

But there’s one that is rarely spoken about, or at least I rarely speak about, and that is strong. 
Yes, physically, mentally, and emotionally strong. 

Were there any times when someone asked you to help carry something heavy and they said, “Oh, you’re big and strong”? Or when you’re facing struggles, someone may say, “Oh, you ca...

I have a question for you: 

When you were younger, do you remember adults making comments about your height? 
It can be anything from “oh, you’re so big now!” to “you shouldn’t have given up that sport” to “you’re gonna scare the boys away with that height”. Sometimes, they may be light-hearted in their eyes, while other times, it’s passive-aggressive. 

For many tall girls, especially at ages 10, 11, or even 12, the first people to ma...

I wanna set the scene for y’all…

I’m at the gym, on the treadmill, following my own advice and moving my body so I don’t feel the pains of being a tall girl. And so, there’s a glass window in front of the treadmills so when you look through it, you can see outside. 

And there’s a store across the street from my gym, so when I look out of this glass window, I can see th...

This is probably one of the biggest struggles tall women face: finding jeans.

And not just any pair of jeans, but jeans that are flattering AND long enough. If you just had flashbacks or cringed or agreed or had any type of reaction to what I just said, I’m sure you understand the struggle. 

It’s not uncommon for a tall woman to walk into a store, bright and eager to buy a pair of jeans, pick a few of them off the rack, try them on, ...

Dating as a tall woman…That is a…beautiful thing. 

Ok, growing up, it was lowkey awkward…well, for me at least. 

I’ve had a total of 3 crushes in my lifetime. Two of which were from middle school. And I was taller than both of them, of course. Ok, not like a million inches taller, but tall enough where you can notice the height difference. And it was very awkward, already while middle school being an awkward time in anyone’s life.

There is a strong connection between your height and your health. And yes, we commonly know the aches and pains and posture problems that come with being tall, but we’re gonna go deeper than that. Like I’m tal...

Has anyone ever mistaken you for being older because of your height? 

I know I have, but we’ll get into that a little later. But I’m sure when you were like 11 or 12 or even a teenager, strangers or even distant family members assumed you were 1, 2, or even 5 years older than you actually were. And then when you told them your actual age, they were surprised. I mean at that age, many of us have baby faces, so it’s sometimes like: Do...

So apparently… tall girls are trending on social media??? 

And lowkey for the wrong reasons. 

Let me explain. 

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been seeing on my TikTok feed specifically, men (keep this in mind for later), talking about tall women and saying how they’re beautiful, how they've been slept on in the dating world, and so forth. And these videos are getting tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of likes, views, sha...

Tall girls just aren’t that pretty.’

That’s how we’re made to feel or even what we’re told growing up by our crush, our peers, even family and friends, and strangers. And it’s not a one-and-done thing. In fact, it’s recurring. We hear and feel this often enough for us to wonder: 

Does everyone have the same viewpoint of tall women?

That we’re these ‘big’, awkward skyscrapers? 

Why? Why is this the case? 

I got 3 words for ya:

Truthfully, being tall can be an isolating experience. I mean, it’s very rare to have a moment where you can just feel like everyone else. Whenever you walk into a room, you’re immediately noticed and get stares. People feel the need to make comments about your height. You see that cute fit your friends are wearing? Yeah, you can’t wear that because it’s not long enough. Experiences like these add up over time, causing us to feel l...

Okay, I have to ask – am I the only one? 

Am I the only tall girly who has considered height reduction surgery? 

Okay I was like 10 when I was actively considering it lol so there was no way that was ever really gonna happen but still. I hated my height so much that I genuinely wanted it. But thank goodness I didn’t get it because NOW I really do love my height. 

So, what is height reduction surgery? 

Height reduction surgery is a proc...

Today’s episode is actually inspired by a couple of TikTok videos I’ve seen recently. It started off with a tall girl video-ing herself what text on the screen saying “me at work” or something of that sort. Then it cuts to screenshots of people (stock images of course) with things that these people in the workplace have said to her because she’s tall. So things like “Oh I wish I had your height” or “Why don’t you play basketball?” ...

One of the biggest struggles tall girls will ever face is fashion/clothing problems. Like we allllll know the struggle. 

It’s pretty normal for us to walk into a store and see a petite clothing section, a regular size clothing section, even a plus size section, but we’re like, where’s the tall section?? So that leads us to take our search online. Half the time major brands lie about selling tall clothing. They literally just slap an...

Today, we are joined by a special guest – a fellow tall girl named Heidi!

We are talking about all things tall from fashion to media representation and even societal norms. Let’s face it: as tall women, it can feel like the world is against us sometimes. Clothing brands rarely cater to us (although I will say that it’s gotten better in recent years!). We’re often depicted as villainous or masculine in the media. And people tend to m...
