Episode 34: You Do Not Exist For Other People’s Comfort

Michelle York & Kelsey Martinez Episode 34

In this week’s episode, Michelle and Kelsey get real about what it means to evolve in front of an audience and how not everyone is going to love the new version of you. After both sharing recent posts about how some people preferred them in bigger bodies, they dive into the deeper truth: it’s not your job to stay the same for someone else’s comfort.

We also talk about the emotional weight of showing up online, especially when it comes to something as personal as weight loss. This conversation was sparked by a recent controversy where a creator opened up about her transformation after choosing to keep that part of her life private and the internet had a lot to say.

Just because someone shares their life online doesn’t mean they owe you every detail in real time. We’re talking about why protecting your peace doesn’t mean you’re hiding something, it means you’re human.
