Melissa is back for a new season of Sometimes in Shambles! Hopefully. There's a lot that has happened in two years so buckle up.

I invited Jenna Chau on the show to talk about body positivity and her personal story of mental illness and gaining weight. Some topics that we cover in this episode:

• My personal story of gaining weight due to depression
• Jenna's personal story of physical health and depression
• Binge eating
• Finding your supportive tribe
• Social media and toxicity related to body pos
• The body pos movement vs your personal body pos journey
• Before/after pictures
• The scale
• Fat phobia and skinny shaming
• Inclusive brands

And so much more!!

Trigger warning: We talk about some touchy subjects such as binge eating and illusions to suicide that could be triggering for some. Please review the topics above to decide if this episode is for you.

I finally feel like I'm in a good place (my therapist thinks so too) and am just going with the flow in all parts of my life.

I wanted to update everyone on what I've been up to while the show took a small, unintentional hiatus. In the first half of this episode, I talk about hobbies and things I've been doing in quarantine, and in the second half, I talk about how I've been working on my communication skills to strengthen my relationships and self.
