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.
Picking up where we left off last week, Tara shares how changing her ‘visual diet’ is expanding her definition of beauty; and also, the culty collateral damage done when we critique our bodies publicly. This leads into...
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. Originally recorded as a Patreon bonus, Candice and wingwoman, Tracy Stamper, welcome special guest Tara Wike to the pod for a two-part deconstruction of diet ‘cult’ure. 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...
After taking six weeks off from the podcast, 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 isn’t over yet. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll carry on, but I’ve decided to keep the fire burning for now. Folks just keep showing up for amazing conversations - and in solidarity with this work - so we’re gonna keep at it through the...
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...
First I just want to say to ALL of you out there... whether you tune into DD bonus episodes or not... without your support, I simply would not have been able to carry this work forward. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your monthly donations! And fyi, I'm still hoping to wrap the 'cult'ure series before the new year, and I quite literally wouldn't have it in me to power forward without you. We're back with another episode of...
Tracy & I are back with another episode of Deconstructing Dogma. This week, we dig into the research of Dr. Robert Cialdini and his book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. Some consider it a research-based marketing manual for folks looking to close the deal, but it's also an insightful deconstruction of how exactly persuasion leads to the loss of personal agency... and the sorts of dynamics we've been talking about over the course of...
