S8 Ep 5: “From Body Positivity to Accountability” – The Twins Revisit Their Old Beliefs
They started Plump Pinay at 18 — pioneering body acceptance in the Philippines long before it was mainstream. But years later, after going viral and facing both praise and hate, Dana and Stacy Gutierrez are looking back at their old words… and realizing how much they’ve changed.
In this brutally honest episode, the twins revisit their early blog posts — on fat shaming, self-worth, sexuality, and online hate — and reflect on what they got right, what they got wrong, and how faith reshaped it all.
“Being fat isn’t brave. Being fat isn’t healthy. And body positive isn’t the whole story.”
A full-circle moment from two women who grew up in the spotlight — and learned that real healing means telling the truth.
