Hello my dear BLW-ers!
I know it’s been wayyyy too long.
So much has changed in the last few years. I’m not doing very much coaching anymore. For better or worse, I’m back in the corporate world working as an attorney again.
And though I loved working for myself (and, most important, working with rad fat women), having a steady job has allowed me to pursue one of the great loves of my life, which is music.
About two years ago I decided to get serious about learning to play bass. I had always sung, and I’ve played a few instruments back in school (mostly baritone and tuba), but bass was just FU ..read more

My not-so-secret chub rub solution. Read on for details . . .
Here it is, nearly August, and I have yet to write a post about the all-important topic of chub rub and how to avoid it.
As silly as it may seem, I think being chub-rub-free has a big impact on your clothing choices. When you’re not worried about your thighs rubbing together, you can pick out clothes that you really feel like wearing. Plus, you can move more comfortably throughout your day!
I’ve spent much of the summer testing different chub rub related products here at Body Love Wellness HQ, located in one of the grossest cities ..read more
