In this topic-focused discussion episode of the Power Posse, Kristin, Stacie, and Ann get real about the hurtful words and labels that have followed them since childhood—from "fruit basket" to "fat" to "lard ass." They explore how these comments shaped their body image and self-esteem, while challenging the tired excuse that cruelty equals affection. But here's the inspiring part: they've chosen to rise above it! Through self-love, boundary-setting, and sisterhood, they remind us that words don't define our worth. Grab your coffee, ladies—this one will have you nodding, laughing, and feeling seriously empowered! ✨
