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!Follow SageShare your personal experiences or submit questions for the pod at [email protected] Morgan Lorraine Gallo:⁠https://linktr.ee/morganlorrainegallo⁠@morganlorrainegallo

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.Follow JonnyShare your personal experiences or submit questions for the pod at [email protected] Morgan Lorraine Gallo:⁠https://linktr.ee/morganlorrainegallo⁠@morganlorrainegallo

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.Follow MeghanCheck out VIBE Gym:https://www.vibegymandwellness.com/Share your personal experiences or submit questions for the pod at [email protected] Morgan Lorraine Gallo:⁠https://linktr.ee/morganlorrainegallo⁠@morganlorrainegallo

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.Follow Alabaster:@alabasterbutt    Check out her shows/podcasts/more:https://linktr.ee/AlabasterbuttShare your personal experiences or submit questions for the pod at [email protected] Morgan Lorraine Gallo:⁠https://linktr.ee/morganlorrainegallo⁠@morganlorrainegallo

“She doesn’t do comedy anymore,” says the ‘Top Fan’ on my Facebook page, who thinks he’s defending me against someone asking about when I’m coming to their city. It’s odd that as soon as I started this podcast and began focusing more on recovery, hundreds of my fans assumed it meant I wasn’t a comedian anymore. Sure, I’ve taken a step back from touring and working myself into the ground, but I still tell jokes. So, in honor of clearing the air, today I’m telling you the full story. How did this all begin, what sparked the start of this show, and what I’m up to now. I promise it’s interesting.Share your personal experiences or submit questions for the pod at [email protected] Morgan Lorraine Gallo:https://linktr.ee/morganlorrainegallo@morganlorrainegallo
