Hey everyone and welcome to this episode of the Happy Hour Podcast.

I'm your host, Gretchen Garrity, and today's episode is a little bit of a deep one.

You know, I told Max before starting to record.

I said, I'm going to record a deep podcast episode.

I told you about it here because I'm going to be in my field and probably going to get

a little emotional.

It's a deep episode.

And he's like, I don't know what a deep episode means.

And I'm like, what do you know what that means?

And I guess what I mean that this is deep episode is like deeply emotional, deeply raw

for me and vulnerable.

I just have been thinking, like I feel like I owe you guys this episode a little bit since

my one explicitly on this body image before is actually my most downloaded episode ever.

My second episode of my podcast.

And I just figured we probably needed an updated one since that was almost three years ago,

which is crazy.

And I thought especially with summer coming up, there seems to be just like an added pressure

we feel to look a certain way and bikinis, crop tops, you know what I mean?

Which reminder, if you have a body, what you all do, check, raise your hand, and you own

a bathing suit, a bikini check, raise your hand, you have a bikini body, there you go,

perfect.

All bodies are bikini bodies.
