We also spotlight Barb's remarkable transformation from being bedridden to covering over six miles, propelled by a combination of personal effort and GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro. Barb's journey challenges preconceived notions about fat activism and medical intervention, illustrating how these treatments can coexist with self-acceptance. From a decade-long midwifery blog to entering the world of storytelling, this episode reveals the profound impact of community support and shared narratives in overcoming personal and health challenges.
