Summary

Sit down next to Katie Sturino, and you’ll instantly feel like you’ve got a new best friend. The body positivity advocate, Megababe founder, and creator of the blog The 12ish Style has a way about her that’s entirely charming, which is no wonder why 419K people are following her on social media. In episode 87, we chat about the divorce #hurdlemoment from a few years ago that lead to a life-changing weight gain. Sturino tells me about how the extra pounds made her feel more like herself, comfortable in her own body, and eventually lead her to start the #makemysize movement. We also chat about how Megababe came to be, what excites her right now and for the new year ahead, and what really goes down in the DMs.

Well, hello there. Emily Abadi here checking in with episode 87 of hurdle, a podcast that talks to everyone from entrepreneurs to top CEOs and athletes about how they've gotten through tough times, hurdles of sorts, by leaning into wellness. Today, I am chatting with the ever lovely Katie Sterino. She is a body positivity

advocate. She's also the founder of both Megababe and a blog called The 12ish style. I feel like

0:33.4

that's just grazing the surface. Before we get into chatting all about Katie and getting into

0:39.1

her story, a quick shout out to the first of two sponsors today, Athletic Greens. I'm going to be

0:44.8

honest with you guys. I feel like holiday shopping for me this year was a little bit easier than

0:49.2

usual. And that's because I've finally established this wellness toolkit of sorts and I want to gift my

0:55.4

essentials to my friends and family. Now of course athletic greens is one of those

1:00.6

essentials. Not only does it have 12 servings of fruits and vegetables but the

1:05.9

greens butter also acts as my one-stop shop for any supplementation that I'm doing. Instead of taking a bunch

1:12.9

of different pills in the morning, now I only shake up a bottle of this. And that's because it's got

1:18.3

prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, superfoods. It's got everything I need

1:25.5

just to feel like my best self. They are offering

1:29.2

Now, sending a little love to another sponsor of mine, Whoop. Now, I sat down with Whoop's founder,

1:54.9

Will Ahmed the other day and he said to me something that I thought was really poignant. That

whoop is one of the only wearables

2:01.5

that will actually tell you when you should take time off.

2:04.9

We're so used to getting rewarded

2:07.9

for really pushing the envelope with a lot of the things

2:11.0

that we are getting data from.
