What’s up, I’m Zach, and I was on a diet of rice and pears for 8 whole years! I have an incurable disease (Eosinophilic Esophagitis) that really isolated me from everyone else. For so long, I tried to fit in with those around me. Then one day, I realized my true identity... I am a weirdo. Rice Cakes and Pears provides a platform where weirdos can shine! A space that welcomes unique stories/perspectives. A podcast people with chronic/mental illness can relate to. Now, go ahead, pop open a can of pears, and shove a rice cake in your mouth! You won’t regret it.

Body Positivity, Queer Experience, and Chronic Illness w/ Logan

Logan and I explore their journey with chronic illness and coming out as nonbinary/genderqueer. Logan knew they were gay from a young age, but never felt like they could be their true self because of their conservative upbringing. Logan is shining a light for those with chronic illness by embracing the body they have been given. I'm in awe of Logan's resilience to keep moving forward despite such an unfair life. We also discuss frustrations concerning social media and their discriminatory behavior toward disabled bodies. Thanks again for joining me, and I'll be on the lookout for rice cake and pear-shaped glasses!
