A black rectangular graphic with "mini episode" across the top and "The Weight of Body Shame" across the bottom in black, all caps font with white outline and teal drop shadow. In the center are two overlapping teal blobs. In the center of those is a cartoon graphic of a person hugging themselves. They have pale aqua skin, purple hair, and a gray long sleeved shirt on.

Hey Friends! Welcome back. In today’s mini episode Rayah talks about some of the stuff they’ve been going through recently in relation to meds, depression, diet culture, fat phobia, and body shame. Hope you find this helpful and know that you are not alone.
