Thank you to everyone who has supported this podcast! I'm taking a little break this summer to refocus my energy and hopefully come back with a killer season 2 of My Body, My Jokes.

I want your feedback! To make Season 2 even better, I'd love to hear from you. I promise this Google survey is all multiple choice and is super quick. Tell me what I can do better :)

Give your feedback here!

Keep a lookout on Morgan's social media for when the pod will be back (most likely Fall 2025!)

This week, Denver alternative fashion icon and cool ass human being Sage Storm joins the pod! I found this lovely gal on Instagram and jumped at the chance to have her chat about her experiences as a plus-size model, walking in Denver Fashion Week, and stepping into her true self. She also designs the most unique nails for herself that you HAVE to see!

My Body, My Jokes goes international this week with a remote interview with certified nutritionist and master health coach, Jonny Landels! Speaking with me from across the pond, Jonny and I touch on male body image, as well as answer questions submitted from my male followers.

Jonny also tells us about his journey from gym-bro to self-love guru (he probably hates that I'm calling him that) and gives us a much-needed perspective into how diet culture and weight stigma can affect the male population.

Bigger bodies yoga teacher, musician and fat activist Andrea Pares joins the pod this week to chat about everything from living in a larger body in the fitness community to posing nude for her friend and his mom. As a leader in the yoga space here in Denver, Andrea tells her story of how she went from feeling uncomfortable in typical yoga classes to becoming one of the city's pacesetters in body-neutral movement.

I had the opportunity to take one of Andrea's bigger bodies only yoga classes the day after the pod and it was WONDERFUL!

Founder of Denver’s own gym and wellness collective for women and genderqueer people, Meghan Nelson, has arrived at My Body, My Jokes! Meghan, a gal I’ve been dying to interview for months, explains the conception of her wellness facility VIBE, and how creating a safe space has impacted our local community. We also address the controversial topic of women-only gyms that exclude trans women (wtf?) and discover the ACTUAL average size of a penis.

Dancer, producer, sex educator and all around burlesque goddess Alabaster is here this week to talk modesty, sex education and finding her confidence through burlesque. She schooled me on the history of burlesque, and we compared notes on awkward audience interactions. We also played a game of Cap or Bussin', finally laying to rest the argument for diet soda.

Denver-based author and podcast host Kameron Tyler graces the pod this week! We chatted about beauty standards within the queer space, his experience writing both a coming-of-age novel and a memoir, and even dove into a little game of He Said She Said. Plus, Kameron explains the history of his "no public water" policy.

TW: Detailed discussion about diet advice and potential ED behaviors.

It's the modern manifestation of toxic diet culture disguised as a bunch of 20-somethings loving themselves by hating themselves: give it up for SkinnyTok!

This week, I'm pulling the curtain back on this popular social media phenomenon that has young women in a chokehold. Whether you love it or hate it, SkinnyTok is here to f*ck some sh*t up.
