[REPLAY] Ep. 11 | Fat Positive Fall

About this episode

In this replay episode, Melanie Knights reflects on the themes of joy, creativity, and self-acceptance during autumn in relation to fat positivity.

As we wrap up this season of The Culture Of It All , we’re rewinding to an episode that holds a very special place in my heart — Fat Positive Fall . In this cozy, reflective replay, I share how autumn feels like coming home to myself and how this season has often marked a time of clarity, creativity, and joy in my fat body. I talk about what it means to pursue joy, how I’m learning to shift away from the constant “fight,” and why rest, rage, and radical softness all belong in our fat liberation work. Whether you’re planning spooky season activities or just looking for inspiration to create more joy and ease in your fat body this autumn, I hope this episode feels like a warm cup of something delicious and a reminder that you’re not alone. Let’s create a fat positive fall—on our own terms. 🍁 This is a public episode.
