We Need To Stop Calling Tall Women "Big"...

We Need To Stop Calling Tall Women "Big"...

So for today’s episode we are talking about tall women being called “big”, why that’s an issue in my opinion, and how we as tall women can remain confident and remember that some people don’t mean it in an insulting way.

First and foremost, as a community, let’s stop calling tall women “big”. To be honest, “big” and “tall” are 2 completely different things in my opinion. Let’s just stick with “tall”, okay?

It’s fairly offensive to call a tall woman, or any woman for that matter, “big” and here’s why:

“Big” for a woman has a negative connotation to it in two ways. First, we’re taught from a young age that we’re supposed to be small, not seen, out of the way, and honestly just there when needed. So, when you have a tall girl, who already sticks out, feels out of place, and is ridiculed for something she naturally has (which is her height) and then you point out the fact that she’s “bigger” than her peers, “bigger” than the people around her, how do you think she’s gonna feel?

If you said self-conscious, you’re right.

The second way is that “big” is often tied to the terms “fat” or “overweight”. I personally don’t like using those terms because society has placed such a negative connotation with them, but because “big” is associated with such negative words, we’re going to take it as an insult. And honestly I feel like this is something very very common for a tall plus sized woman.

Why do people even call tall women “big” to begin with? How can we respond to those who call us “big”? Tune in to the episode for a deep dive!

Growing (Literally and Figuratively) Can Be Scary...

Growing (Literally and Figuratively) Can Be Scary...

A few days ago, I visited my high school. Again. Yes, I’m one of those who, even after 3 years, still visit their high school. But what can I say? Even though a lot of bad, borderline traumatic events happened there, I still consider it my safe space…for the most part. When I’m in the right offices with the right teacher(s) and right staff, I feel better. But anyways, it was during this visit to my high school that I had some kind of revelation. It really hit me that I'm GROWING UP. These teachers have seen me when I was 15, 16, 17, and even 18, and now all of a sudden I'm 21???? HOW does that even work? Am I ready to start truly adulting? Am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? I don't even know what's going on lmfao.

Can We Go Back To Doing Things For The Plot?

Can We Go Back To Doing Things For The Plot?

Let's face it...we all get scared to do things. Especially the big things. The things that are outside of our comfort zone. And I'm right there with ya. Now that summer's here (sun's out, buns out ahA), there a lot of changes that are coming my way and boy, am I TERRIFIED. I genuinely can't stop thinking to myself "what if I fail?" or "what if I look stupid?" and it's so overwhelming dude. But something that really calms me down is saying "it's for the plot." Yes. As DUMB as it sounds. I gotta keep telling myself that it's just for the plot lol. So are we doing this for the plot together? Tune in and we'll see ;)Let's stay connected: https://linktr.ee/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

You Deserve To Take Up Space

You Deserve To Take Up Space

Can you believe that one of my classes actually inspired this episode? That's cray... Growing up as a tall girl, I would always slouch because I didn't want to appear 'too tall'. At first, I believed it was so I could 'fit in' but in reality, I started to believe that I didn't deserve to take up space. And that makes me sad because I held myself back from being the person that I wanted to be back then...

How Self-Doubt Almost Ruined My Life (and How It May Be Ruining Yours...)

Today we are talking about good-ol' self-doubt. Ya know that feeling when there's something you REALLLLYYYY wanna do, but in the back of your mind, you're like "I'm not good enough to do that" or "I can't be like that"? Yup, that's her. Good-ol' self-doubt.It's normal to feel it sometimes. I argue that that's healthy actually. It gives us a chance to reflect on our thoughts and actions. But when it becomes CHRONIC, that's when it gets bad. Tune in to this episode to learn how self-doubt almost ruined my life and how it may be ruining yours.Let's stay connected: https://linktr.ee/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

How I've Been Feeling Lately...

How I've Been Feeling Lately...

We're about a week into being 21 years old, and boy do I feel LIKE TRASH. Lol, not really something you expect to hear from someone who just came off their birthday weekend, right?I don't know. They say that your 20s are one of the most intense periods of your life. Which I can understand. There were so many highs and lows, ups and downs, and I've only been in my 20s for a year. One year. Absolutely horrendous. Nonetheless, we need to keep pushing through. I think? If you feel like you've been in a rut or just out of sorts recently, then this episode is definitely for you. We're all in this together 👏Let's stay connected: https://linktr.ee/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews
