Summary

Caroline Dooner has written one of my favorite books,Ā The F*ck It Diet.Ā This book is for chronic dieters who want to heal their relationship with food. Yes, hello! She joined me on the podcast this week to talk about her book, rejecting diet culture, and why, as a culture, we are so addicted to dieting.

Welcome to the Divorce Survival Guide podcast, where we have open and honest conversations about co-parenting, separation, divorce, and the hardest question of all, should you stay or should you go.

I'm Kate Anthony, your divorce survival guide, and I'm here to help you navigate

0:22.8

some of the roughest waters you've ever swum in and answer some of your toughest questions.

0:28.5

I've been to hell and back, and now it's my mission in life to help you get to the other side

0:34.2

of this process with your sanity and your heart intact.

0:44.4

which I'm starting to think might be untenable

2:04.4

in this area, thinking that like landlords may have to start installing those sorts of

2:12.2

things in Southern California.

2:14.2

Anyway, climate change is real, y'all.

2:17.1
