#18: Topic - The Words That Stick With Us

About this episode

The hosts discuss the impact of hurtful words from childhood on body image and self-esteem, emphasizing empowerment through self-love and sisterhood.

In this topic-focused discussion episode of the Power Posse , Kristin, Stacie, and Ann get real about the hurtful words and labels that have followed them since childhood—from "fruit basket" to "fat" to "lard ass." They explore how these comments shaped their body image and self-esteem, while challenging the tired excuse that cruelty equals affection. But here's the inspiring part: they've chosen to rise above it! Through self-love, boundary-setting, and sisterhood, they remind us that words don't define our worth. Grab your coffee, ladies—this one will have you nodding, laughing, and feeling seriously empowered! ✨ This is the Power Posse Podcast, the bi-monthly podcast that serves as a place where women come together to power up, speak truth, and navigate every wild, messy, and beautiful season of life.
