SIDE EFFECTS: We Can’t Be Friends

The Dose of It: GLP1s, Weight Loss & Wellness

Show Notes

Why is making friends as an adult basically dating… but somehow more awkward? This week, Tay and Priss are talking all things adult friendships the good ones, the weird ones, the ones that fall apart, and the ones that actually survive the uncomfortable conversations. They get into trust issues, friendship breakups, feeling like you have to “shoot your shot” just to make a new friend, and figuring out whether someone genuinely likes you or just likes what you can do for them. They also talk about how past friendship experiences can make you guarded, why vulnerability is terrifying but necessary, and why having a tiny circle of real people can be way better than having 20 surface-level friendships. Because apparently making friends as a grown adult requires confidence, emotional availability, social skills, and a small amount of delusion.

We get into the fears we had before starting medication, what it actually felt like taking that first shot, the things we wish we knew about semaglutide and tirzepatide, and how our journeys have looked completely different. Because here's the thing: You don't have to wait until you're completely fearless to make a change. Sometimes you just have to do it scared. 🥹 We also talk about comparison, food noise, finding confidence again, and why someone else's timeline has absolutely nothing to do with YOUR progress.

Funny how the people who never cared about your health suddenly have SO much to say when you start doing something about it. 👀 This week on The Dose of It, Priss and Tay are talking about the judgment, unsolicited advice, and stigma that come with using GLP1 medications. From backhanded compliments and passive-aggressive comments to AI-edited body photos and strangers who think they know your body better than you do, we're getting into ALL of it. We talk about the difference between genuine concern and criticism, why asking for help doesn't make you weak, and how exhausting it can be to constantly defend your personal health decisions. Priss opens up about how her journey has changed so much more than just the number on the scale, while Tay shares her experiences with online trolls, judgment, and learning that she doesn't owe anyone an explanation. Because at the end of the day, your health journey isn't up for public debate. Whether you're on a GLP-1, considering one, or just tired of people having opinions about your body, this episode is for you. 💗 🎧 New episodes every Tuesday and Friday! #TheDoseOfIt #PrissAndTay #GLP1Journey #GLP1Community #WeightLossJourney #WeightLossPodcast #GLP1Support #HealthJourney #BodyPositivity #WeightLossStigma #UnsolicitedAdvice #SelfConfidence #PodcastEpisode #WomenWhoPodcast #HealthAndWellness

Priss and Tay have lost over 300 pounds combined, but that doesn’t mean motivation magically stays high or that the mental side of the journey gets easier. This week, they’re talking about what it actually looks like to keep showing up through anxiety, seasonal sadness, burnout, food guilt, changing routines, and the days when you just want to stay on the couch. They get into learning the difference between having a bad day and actually falling off track, letting go of the pressure to constantly “have it together,” and remembering that progress doesn’t have to look perfect. Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do isn’t push harder — it’s give yourself a little grace and keep going. 💚 This episode is sponsored by Fridays.

Small circles, bigger boundaries, and dating stories that make you rethink who you let into your life. Priss and Tay get honest about friendship, trust, heartbreak, dating after weight loss, and what happens when relationships start making you feel like a smaller version of yourself. What starts as a chaotic card-draw episode turns into a real conversation about adult friendship breakups, protecting your peace, learning who you can truly lean on, and why having a small circle isn’t always a bad thing. They also open up about past relationships that became controlling, changing yourself to keep someone else happy, and the freedom that comes with finally choosing authenticity over approval. If you’ve ever questioned your friendships, your dating standards, or whether your circle is “too small,” this episode is for you. Funny, vulnerable, chaotic, and maybe a little healing. 💊🩷 #TheDoseOfIt #AdultFriendships #FriendshipBreakups #ProtectYourPeace #HealthyBoundaries #DatingAfterHeartbreak #DatingAfterWeightLoss #RelationshipTalk #ChoosingYourself #SelfWorth #HealingJourney #GirlTalkPodcast #WeightLossJourney #Dosies

Rest days are not the enemy - burnout is. In this episode, Tay and Priss talk about why slowing down can somehow make us feel guilty, anxious, or like we’re falling behind. When did being constantly busy become something to brag about and why do we confuse always doing something with actually making progress? From feeling stressed on a day off to filling every quiet moment with another task, they unpack the mental loops that make rest feel almost impossible. They talk about comparing your schedule to everyone else’s, saying yes when you really want to say no, and the difference between truly needing a reset and avoiding something you know needs to get done. Tay and Priss also get personal about anxiety, overthinking, and that weird fear that taking one day off will somehow undo everything you’ve worked for. The biggest reminder? Your productivity does not determine your worth. Sometimes progress looks like showing up, pushing yourself, and getting things done. And sometimes it looks like closing the laptop, canceling the plans, taking the nap, and giving yourself permission to reset. If you feel guilty resting, struggle to slow down, or constantly feel like you should be doing more, this episode is for you. 🛍️ Shop The Dose of It merch:
