Listen "Can You Say ‘You’ve Gained Weight’? The Awkward Truth About Body Comments"
Episode Synopsis
You’ve gained weight.
Three little words that can crush someone or completely change a relationship. After COVID, a lot of us stopped prioritizing ourselves. The stress. The burnout. The emotional eating. And now… the mirror feels different, the intimacy feels distant, and no one’s saying a word.
In this episode of Mic & Mind, we’re diving into one of the hardest conversations in relationships: what happens when your partner gains weight, and you don’t know how or if you should bring it up. Is it ever okay to say something? What if you’re the one who feels self-conscious, and you’re scared they notice?
We talk the shame, the silence, the emotional weight (literally and figuratively), and how to reconnect when body image is getting in the way of everything else.
