Here it is: the last episode of The Babesment. Even though this is the last episode of the show, that does not mean it has to be the end of the amazing work that’s been done over the past two years. As we wrap things up, Stef + Jules talk about how to cope with the hole in your podcast feeds, what comes next for each of them, the inevitable T Swift update, and the immense joy and gratitude that comes with being a part of other women’s healing. This movement still has so far to go, but we can still appreciate how far we’ve come. Think about how you used to be and how you’ve grown – even in the smallest ways. And we wrap up the pod the same way we wrap up every single episode, by answering our last question for the last time. We promised we wouldn’t cry 😭.

Today’s guest is Alex Dacy, AKA @wheelchair_rapunzel on Instagram and TikTok, and she is ALL ABOUT disability representation + body confidence. She’s a disabled creator, writer, model, advocate, and all-around wonderful human being. Ableness is a core part of the body liberation movement, and one that doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves which makes Alex such an important voice. She has a way of cutting through the fluff and getting to the core of what actually matters about all human beings – all the while being funny as shit.

Welcome to The Babesment LIVE! Well, technically this is a recording of our live episode, so it is not live itself. But now you have the opportunity to vicariously experience what it might have been like to bask in Stef + Jules’ presence in PERSON! Yeah, we humble. They answer audience questions, from finding a balance between body love and body neutrality, how to talk about body changes, tips for shopping when it can feel triggering, managing your expectations, and what they’d tell Taylor Swift if they ever ran into her in an elevator.

All good things come to an end. We’ve had an amazing journey together, changing lives, making new best friends, and getting the message out there about that sneaky bitch, diet culture. But Stef + Jules have made the decision to close the door to The Babesment. Putting out content is hard – especially so when you’re a full-time business owner. Stef + Jules take this time to talk about how you can support the content creators in your life so they keep showing up for you, the magic of investing in yourself, and why finding your calling + following it can be such a powerful but difficult thing to do. There will be more Babesment episodes coming, with the last airing on October 25, 2021. And while the podcast may be ending (for now), know that there is always a community to be found with Stef + Jules.

Arielle Estoria has got some words of inspiration – and as a poet, author + artist, you know they’re some really good words too. Growing up a performer, she found it easier to be embodied as someone else. When she realized that, she knew she had to find a way to get comfortable as herself. Arielle talks about her journey to discovering her own character and letting go of parts of yourself and being okay with that because it’s all a part of our everlasting evolution.

Buckle up because you’re in for a DOOZY of a podcast. Dr. Joshua Wolrich is the best. He’s a “health at every size” doctor which is what Stef + Jules are all about! He’s the author of the bestselling Food Isn't Medicine, and he’s a proponent of fighting weight stigma, as well as what he calls “nutribollocks.” We talk about advocating for your health and getting proper care at any weight, the dangers of health stigmas in the medical industry, and why it’s important to acknowledge that food is not medicine.

What does it mean to own yourself? To fully embrace who you are and to recognize your worth as an individual? If you could own the word “fat” – not as an insult, but as a fact that can’t hurt you. It’s not easy to do – to be you on purpose, so Stef + Jules break down the concept of owning your worth because it’s so important in this life. Until diet culture is gone for good, there are going to be triggers trying to drag us down. Let’s focus on the glimmer of hope that comes when we prioritize the good we’ve done in our lives and accept what’s possible.
