Here it is!... the follow-up to Episode 76 with Susan McCulley. If you enjoyed Part 1, you definitely won't want to skip the second half of this conversation. In Part 2, we talk: Food Monitoring - We share about our motives & why it was always shrouded in secrecy. Anti-Fat Bias - I speak about a course I took way back in college & what I learned about the insidious nature of fat prejudice; some of what I learned might surprise you....
This week, we’re keeping our finger on the pulse of diet ‘cult’ure. Our guest is a former affiliate of 'the Org' and a valued contributor in the Deconstructing Dogma series over on Patreon. Susan McCulley recently joined Candice for heart-to-heart, and we’re sharing the first half of the convo here on the main feed. In 2016, Susan wrote a powerful essay about the double-life she was living as a holistic fitness instructor touting...
We’re back with the second half of our conversation with Tara Wike. (If you missed Part 1, you'll wanna circle back and start there). In the lead-in, Candice reads from listener comments & lays the foundation for Part 2. Then, picking up where we left off last week, Tara shares how changing her ‘visual diet’ is expanding her definition of beauty; and also, speaks to the culty collateral damage done when we critique our bodies...
Plans have changed and the ‘cult’ure series isn’t wrapping just yet! Back after another long break, Candice shares why she’s decided to keep at it; then she lays the foundation for this week’s convo.

In Part 1, Tara shares a bit about her personal background, time...
Yesterday I made chocolate pecan pie. Because it’s my step-mama’s killer recipe & it’s freakin’ delicious. And also because it’s January, and I wanted to drown out the noise of diet ‘cult’ure. Tomorrow I’ll be dropping an episode on the main feed of the pod on this very topic. ‘Diet’ may not be a word you resonate with. But if you’re anything like me you’ve detoxed and purified… fasted and/or logged your meals…...
QUICK & IMPORTANT UPDATE >> After taking six weeks off from the main feed of the pod, I've come to realize two things: 1) sometimes when I want to cut&run, all I really need is an open-ended breather... and 2) the 'cult'ure series ain't over yet! I'm not sure how much longer I'll carry on, but I've decided to keep tending the fire awhile longer. Folks just keep showing up for amazing conversations - and in solidarity with this...
Hi y'all. I'd initially planned on saving this two-part conversation until after the 'cult'ure series wraps. But I've since decided to go ahead and roll it out now, because friendship and belly laughs are always helpful around the holidays. Long time good friend of the pod, Monica Welty, joins Tracy & I for a two-part 'cult'ure series recap, and the three of us reflect on two-plus years podcasting & how the ‘cult’ure series in...
Next week, we'll be featuring another guest convo here. It's an insightful two-parter & we really can't wait to share it with you! In the meantime... Have you been wondering what happened with Episode #74? 🤷♀️ Why I deleted it right before it was scheduled to drop? If so, you'll wanna check out this week’s episode of Deconstructing Dogma. We recorded dd #47 on November 14th, when I was still in the writing/production phase on...
