This week on The Thick podcast, Michelle and Kelsey share the things we’re collectively saying no to — from invites that drain our energy to the unrealistic expectations people put on us. We talk about why boundaries, both online and in real life, are essential, and how saying no is one of the healthiest things you can do for your mental health. You don’t have to be everything to everyone. We break down why prioritizing yourself and your family is not selfish, how to protect your peace, and why “no” can be a full sentence.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the real cost of the glow-up—and we’re not talking about money. We get into what happens when you finally start prioritizing yourself, feeling good in your skin, and chasing your joy… and the backlash that sometimes comes with that. From passive-aggressive comments from friends and family to judgmental strangers online, we’re breaking down why your transformation can be triggering to others—and why that’s not your burden to carry. If you’ve ever felt guilty for putting yourself first or been told “you’ve changed,” this one’s for you.

In this long-awaited update, Michelle and Kelsey finally sit down to talk about life after GLP-1 weight loss—specifically, what maintenance really looks like. After three years on the medication, they open up about the reality of gaining a little back, why it’s totally normal, and why so many people in their circle are experiencing the same thing. They also dive into the complex world of body image—how seeing yourself constantly on camera messes with your mind—and what that’s sparked for them, including some honest talk about the possibility of future plastic surgery.
