The Culture Of It All
The Culture Of It All is a weekly podcast where we don’t just talk about ditching diet culture, we unlearn together, heal our body image, and fight for fat acceptance and true size inclusivity.
Your host, Melanie Knights [she/they] — is an unapologetically fat, fashion content creator, storyteller, introverted Aquarius with a fondness for all things fat and spooky.
This is a space where the fat community is seen, heard, and celebrated. It's where you can come to unlearn, heal, and find connection — and where everyone, in every body, is invited to listen, learn, and actively advocate for change.
Together, we'll challenge weight stigma, confront fat stereotypes, and dive deep into how diet culture impacts every part of our lives.

Summer Series: 10 Body & Business Lesson From This Summer
We’ve made it to our final episode of the Summer Series, and today I’m reflecting on 10 things I’ve learned about myself this summer. I’ll be discussing lessons in business, and marketing as well as the importance of community and my struggle to trust my body. We’ll of course be talking about how I’ve felt both physically and emotionally this summer and what my plans are for The Culture Of It All!
