This episode was a perfect example of why I love both of you and this podcast and your dynamic/interactions with each other!

I think this was one of the most beautiful episodes ever. I am in my mid-thirties and it really resonated with me, and as Alia wisely put it, its a long life journey (but a very rewarding journey too). Very important topics discussed, always with a down to earth perspective but also with a raw honesty that I admire in you two, both individually, but also as a couple. Thank you Alia from bringing this topic. From one ‘petite’ woman to another. 🤍

I'm one year younger than Alia, and I agree with how you feel about comparing yourself now to how you were before. I had a really bad eating disorder growing up, and I still struggle with it every single day. I have gained over 75 pounds over the past couple of years, and right now, I can't even look at myself. It's hard, but I know that one day I'll love myself and my body! This was a good episode, and I love these vulnerable moments. I was watching Alia before I moved to Seattle and still watch her now that I've moved to NYC for work. I love seeing this other side of her, where everyone isn't perfect and everything is not what it seems. It makes you guys feel more like real people, which I love. Keep it up!

I think the perspective changes as you get older too. I think about the quote: There is no audience to perform for-there is just you.

Heavy topic but you guys did it very well 💕 We are all our biggest critics so totally get it Alia I feel like the older you get the better you are about your body because at the end of the day there are some things we can control somethings we definitely can’t like height

Alia you have the most beautiful body. I am so proud of how far you have come ❤ and to overcome years of trauma from ballet beauty standards is such an achievement, and to also speak up about it like how you did in this episode is so brave!

I think it's important to remember that the grass is always greener. I'm 5' 11" and it's impossible to find pants that are long enough, especially now that baggier/oversized styles are more trendy. At least you can get things hemmed! You can't add fabric when things are too short

I think you both spoke in a very sensitive way not to offend anyone and it gave me more insight into Alia.

I turned 30 a couple weeks ago, I'm a dancer and I KNOW the feeling. I think the only thing I can say it's that it gets better with age. I still train and dance but now I focus on my health and to be good to my body, and specially if I'm not working as a dancer, but I wanna keep doing it bc I love it. It's normal that our bodys change with time and as I get older I feel happier with my desitions bc they are mine and no dance teacher can make me feel bad anymore. My relationship with who I am and with movement has changed so much with time, and I hope that one day it happens to you Alia xx.

I do understand your story and, for me, it came more from the fact that sometimes insecurities come when you are in a relationship or maybe you had them before but now they get to your head more. Also, Trump's voice threw me off 😂
