Less of You: Life on Semaglutide & Tirzepatide
Eva and Kami, two mothers, discuss their experiences with weight loss using semaglutide and tirzepatide. They candidly explore the reasons behind their obesity, share the challenges and successes of their journeys, and use sarcasm and humor to cope. The podcast follows Kami as she starts semaglutide while Eva reflects on reducing food noise and overcoming negative self-talk.

It’s My Face. Thanks.
Kami is five days into recovery from a balloon sinuplasty and turbinate reduction, and it has been brutal — she’s too congested to wear her CPAP, she can’t use her mouth guard while mouth-breathing all night, and she’s up every hour drinking water. Before any of that came up, though, she showed off three new waist-length hair extension colors, Foxy, Aurora, and Paprika, from Wildcrafted Beauty.Eva
Courtroom Wins, Evil Clowns, Pink Shoelaces
Eva marched a Stephen King-grade demon clown costume up to the register in a store for kids — and when the manager disagreed that it didn’t belong there, she bought $50 Boden sneakers out of spite for the place. Weeks later, her 6-year-old still won't go to the bathroom alone, because in her mind, the clown lives there now.Kami, meanwhile, rides the high of the biggest legal win of her life — a c
The Scale Is Finally Moving Again
Eva hadn't budged from 186 for a year and a half — until she stepped on it this week and saw 180, a number she hasn't seen in ages, ice cream summer in Washington included.Kami has her own update: three pounds down in her fourth week of GLP-1 shots, plus a blunt reality check on the gastrointestinal side effects nobody warns you about (chewable laxatives included).Swerving into real life, Kami sea
Do I look better yet?
Three weeks after her Halo resurfacing, Eva decides to take the opportunity to have a Junera laser treatment, a new technology that treats the skin from within to tighten the face and neck from the inside. On the morning before heading to Dr. Jennifer Walden’s office in Austin, she took her before photos seriously: the 6:43 AM bathroom pictures, the long-stoplight car selfie video, the in-office c
Replacing The Microwave (Also Known As The Micro-Wah-Vay)
After an important discussion about the microwave (also known as the micro-wah-vay), we theorize that GLP-1s are basically commoditized now. Meanwhile, to fix the microwave door, Eva's husband drove actual screws through it (that’s not how microwaves work) and we get an update on Kami's small claims case against her former broker.Eva considers an unexpected opportunity to get her very loose turkey
I Did Halo Laser Resurfacing On My Way to a Dance Recital
After Eva went in for Halo laser resurfacing with a friend (who happens to be one of the best in the world), she walked out looking horrifying (according to the 8 year old) then drove straight to a dance recital tearing a cooling mask in half and swapping it between cheeks.She’s back with the whole before-and-after saga: the time-lapse, the nitrous oxide she thought she wouldn’t need, a wicked fev
We're Back, and We Found a Cheaper Way to Get Your Meds

Have we replaced food noise with mom guilt?
