🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms unpacking body image, diet culture, identity, motherhood, and the total mind game of trying to change your body without losing your personality in the process. If you like funny, honest conversations about healing, food, family, and the chaos of a real-life wellness journey, you’re in the right place.

🌪️ In this episode:
we talk about tornadoes, storm anxiety, and the weird beauty of severe weather. One of us found awe in the sky. The other found fresh reasons to spiral.

✈️ Also in this episode:
Southwest’s Customer of Size policy, flying while fat, plus-size travel stress, and why air travel still feels so humiliating and hostile for bigger bodies. We get into the rage, the logistics, and the emotional whiplash of trying to exist in systems that were clearly not built for you.

😵‍💫 We also get into:
travel anxiety, body image triggers, public discomfort, and the very specific exhaustion of having to think ten steps ahead just to get on a plane.

🎉 Welcome back to Born This Weigh!

We’re Kari and Lisa, two moms who’ve lost a combined 150 pounds and are still unpacking the wiring that came with growing up as the fat kid. This is the podcast where we talk about body image, diet culture, identity shifts, and the stuff that sticks long after gym class ends.

This week, we’re diving into a topic that is suddenly everywhere:

What is it actually like trying to access GLP-1 medications right now?

💊 The GLP-1 Access Maze
Lisa reveals where she gets her GLP-1 medications, and let’s just say the process had more twists than basic medical care should require. We talk about navigating prescriptions, telehealth, insurance hurdles, and the confusing reality of compounding pharmacies.

Along the way, we get into the medications everyone keeps hearing about — semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus the brand names flooding the news cycle like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro — and why actually getting access to them can feel way more complicated than it should be.

From shortages to price tags to the rise of compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, the whole system is… kind of a maze.

📉 Apparently GLP-1s Are Taking Down Entire Industries
Airlines are thrilled, snack companies are panicking, and liquor brands might want to sit down for this one. We talk about the bizarre cultural moment where medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro are changing not just individual bodies, but entire industries.

If you’ve been curious about GLP-1 medications, semaglutide, tirzepatide, compounding pharmacies, or what the process of actually getting these medications looks like in real life, this episode will probably feel very familiar.

This week, we’re asking a question that might hit a little too close to home:

Were you the funny fat friend?

🎭 Built a Personality So No One Would Notice
At some point, being “the funny one” stopped being random and started being strategy. We talk about using humor as camouflage, becoming the safe sidekick, and building charm so no one would look too closely at our bodies.

😂 Trauma-Based Humor & Survival Tactics
Self-deprecating jokes. Emotional support energy. Being “one of the guys.” We unpack how humor becomes armor and what it feels like when you start outgrowing the version of you that was built for survival.

📺 Shame Is Not a Weight Loss Plan
We also call out the rise of shame-based messaging in weight loss spaces. If hating yourself actually worked, most of us would have been healed decades ago. Acceptance might not be flashy, but it is a lot hotter than self-loathing.

If you’ve ever been cast as the comic relief before you understood your own body, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.
