Summary

Siblings and co-authors, Comedian Ian Karmel and Psychologist Dr. Alisa Karmel, join Stacy to share what led them to write their memoir, T-SHIRT SWIM CLUB: Stories From Being Fat in a World of Thin People. Through a balance of Ian’s comedic reflection and earnest unpacking of his own struggles with growing up fat, along with Alisa’s own experiences with fad diets and her clinical knowledge as a psychologist and nutritionist, we are invited to be kinder to ourselves and own our space unapologetically at any size.
