We talk about her experiences with her body from a young age, through puberty, and into adulthood. We cover how her eating disorder started and how she managed to pull herself out of it and fight for her life literally.
We also talk about how she came to the body positivity movement. And what it means to be an Instagram name. What it means to be "bodyposipanda," sometimes at the risk of not being Megan to so many people. We also talk about what her journey has been coming out as q***r. And what her current relationship means to her and what it's like being in a q***r relationship.
We also go on many a side tangent including the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, and so much more.

You all! Check this episode drop out!
I spoke with Monique Melton at the beginning of July. We talked Black Liberation, growing up Black, how we benefit from privilege and so much more!
One thing we don’t talk about often is how we as multiply-marginalized people (even as Black women) we still benefit from privilege. We may be cis. We may be heterosexual. We may live in higher socioeconomic classes. We may be able bodied. There’s a lot to take into consideration. And we talk about this.
We also recap the challenge a month after. And we talk about the impact of the week. And we also talk about the fall off just 3 weeks later.
Wr talk about all this but as always we first talk about Monique’s experiences in her body growing up. Her experiences as a Black mother. And the trauma she had endured from both and more.
Do not miss this episode 👏🏾
You will regret it.

Sarah Buchanan, an author, artist, food blogger, and one of my really good friends joins Nia Patterson for what is probably our funniest episode to date! This week on the ninth episode of the podcast we talk about Sarah's experience being a Type 1 Diabetic since the age of 4 and how that has affected her physical health as well as her mental health. She talks about her life growing up with childhood bullying and trauma. We talk about how important it is that we are able to advocate for our bodies and also how medication can be helpful for mental illness. Then we move on to discuss writing with inclusivity and creating novels with a wide range of characters and the ways that this can become problematic. Lastly, we end with a brief synoposis of my personal deep love for Fat Thor from Avengers: Endgame! Join us as we talk about diabetes, mental health, writing and food.
Sarah Buchanan is a writer, artist, food blogger, and tarot reader whose biggest pet peeve is when people she's just met feel compelled to ask her how tall she is. (She's 5'10".) Sarah is also a Type 1 diabetic who has spent the last 31 years explaining to people that no, she didn't "cause" her disease and no...cinnamon won't cure it. She's currently working on a follow-up to her debut novel, "That Book I Wrote About Me," which you can find here and occasionally updating her food blog, Sarah Cooks the Books. Sarah currently resides in North Carolina with her two cats, Zelda and Oliver.
