Show Notes

This week, Susie sits down with her real-life bestie, Carmen—body positivity advocate and founder of Eat the Cake Too. The two dive into their very first (awkward) meeting in Mexico and the evolution of their deep, ride-or-die friendship.

They unpack the lies women are fed about beauty, worth, and social media perfection—and the ones we sometimes tell ourselves. Plus, there’s no shortage of laughter as they swap stories of relationship red flags, boundary-setting fails, and online shenanigans. Plus, they dive into your voicemails and have a serious LOL. Don’t miss it!
