This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather has an interview with the very kick-ass Stardust Megu! They talk all things cosplay - from gender to race to body type. Stardust shares her story about how cosplay literally saved her life. She was severely bullied as a kid and once she discovered comic con and cosplay, her whole world changed. Listen to hear her story about going from insecure to SUPER CONFIDENT. And be sure to check out her Instagram to see her talented cosplays!

Does your career rely heavily on what you look like? For most dancers and models, body image can be a huge issue.
In this episode of Love Your Bodd, Heather talks to an old friend, Rachel Eten, about what it was like to grow up as a dancer and later, what it's like to have a professional modeling career. Luckily, Rachel has been able to stay sane and keep control over her own body in industries where it is common to feel like other people have control over it.
Rachel shares the weird ins-and-outs of modeling; she shares how exercise has never been her thing (she even shares her own fun term for "exercise"); and lastly, we talk about her pregnancy, motherhood, and how she feels an intense pressure to get her pre-pregnancy body back - not from the industry but from herself.
