Q&A - Your Questions Answered!

You're Khloe Kardashian, you've been body shamed, bullied, and compared to your sisters for years. An unedited photo of you is accidentally posted to the Internet. What do you do about it? This is an episode about the insidious effects of shame. And how body shaming and toxic beauty standards can only be resolved if we confront our shame, and don't let an unedited photo spark a legal reaction in an attempt to purge the entire Internet of a normal photo. Instead of a cease and desist of an unedited photo, how about a #ceaseanddesistonshame?

What I learned from an interaction with a body shaming brand, and what you should look out for as a consumer going into swimsuit season regarding the apparel brands you support (especially swimwear) and the influencers you follow. You have consumer power, use your power wisely.   Also, as we head into Spring and Summer, beware of toxic bikini body rhetoric. All bodies are bikini bodies. And before you judge yourself unfairly, always ask yourself, "Is it me?

Comedian Erica Rhodes joins the podcast to talk about love, loss, and of course, laughter.      Erica is the best comedian I've been in a car accident with. She has had a successful career doing stand up and performing, starting with appearances on "A Prairie Home Companion" alongside actors like Alison Janney, Martin Sheen and Meryl Streep. Since then she's toured the world, and released her album "Sad Lemon" and appeared on NBC's "Bring The Funny."     We talk about what it's like recording a stand up special during the pandemic, which she did this Summer at the Rose Bowl. And life during lockdown, including our adventures going to get oxygenated baths and toilet paper right before everything changed.     We also talk about the tough parts of pandemic, including saying goodbye to loved ones. Finding closure in difficult situations. And what we've learned about grief and love.     We also give advice on dating, navigating toxic relationships and dodging men who have “your best interest” at heart. If a guy says this to you, RUN.     Also, career advice! How to collaborate with your friends and how to make teamwork actually work, and not freaking out on your business partners. How to find effective partnerships with co-writers and managers. How to keep momentum in creative projects, and why it's important to turn hope into celebrations.     Oh and the what to do if you get into a car accident right before a pitch meeting!     ERICA'S LINKS: Sad Lemon Erica on IG and Twitter Watch us in "The Pitch" (which we filmed before pitching our own projects) Medium article   SUPPORT THE PODCAST: Leave Hot Pizza Ass a review Join us on Patreon 

Lessons in Love and Loss with Erica Rhodes

This episode started out as a guide on how to take control of your social media experience, take your power back, and draw boundaries. But what it turned into was a story about my life, and the irony of spending time on platforms people scroll through for a second only to forget about 5 minutes later. Which, in itself, says something about social media so I decided to release it anyway.   Support Hot Pizza Ass Podcast by writing a review on iTunes! Or join us on Patreon!

How to be "Successful" at Social Media

Welcome to Season 3 of Hot Pizza Ass. Allow me to reintroduce myself. What is a hot pizza ass? Hot Pizza Ass (n.) - Somebody truly in their worth, where outside expectations placed upon them or internalized expectations not in alignment with their their souls deepest desires have no relevance to the choices they make, how they see themselves or live their life. A truly free being.     Ten Commandments of being a Hot Pizza Ass Thou shalt eat pizza - no food is off limits for a hot pizza ass. She eats what she wants. She doesn’t go on Gwyneth Paltrow bullshit no food detoxes her body doesn’t need. She consumes as she pleases and understands she is beautiful and worthy at any size. At any size baby. Thou shalt love others and recognize the hot pizza ass inside of them too - real recognize real. And hot pizza of ass recognize hot pizza ass. everybody needs a cheerleader and people who are secure and feel good about themselves are more equipped to hype up ye fellow man or woman or non gender confirming individual. Taking care of your self on a soul level empowers you and empowers others creating a ripple effect, and a better world for all! Thou shalt not take any shit - when your neighbor comes you with some bullshit in the form of unwanted opinions about your life, your body, your sexuality, your relationships, you stop them right there. Thank them in advance for their concern and tell them to get to steppin', look in the mirror, and check themself for their unexamined internal misery. Wish them well, but wish them well on their way. Thou shalt be fearless in the pursuit of your own personal happiness - when one finds what truly lights up their soul, there is no going back. They must commit to their new path, step in to their being, and find community that will love and support them. Thou shalt find your tribe - not every hot pizza ass is born into a family, community, social circle or peer group that loves and accepts them. And that’s ok. Find your tribe of like-minded individuals. Thou shalt draw boundaries - boundaries are your new best friend, baby. You may need to draw boundaries with your family, old friendships, exes, or other people in your life who once served a purpose but now feel like dead weight. You may need to draw boundaries with time spent on social media. With your job. Or anything or anyone else you deem as an unhealthy influence for your personal growth. We don’t have control of every element of our life, that’s why God gave us boundaries. Use them. Thou shalt express thyself - Like Queen Madonna once said, don’t go for second best, baby. express thyself. Tell the world who you are, what you want, and don’t make a habit out of settling for less. Because when you really love thyself, you’ll want to sing from the mountain tops like Julie Andrews in the sound of music! Or post a picture on Instagram with a pizza pizza on your butt. Thou shalt educate yourself - I don’t care if you went to no school, a trade school, a community college, or one of the best universities in the world. Your education should be a priority and it should continue for the rest of your life. whether you choose to continue your education via YouTube university, Duolingo, audible, acting class, or traditional school, a true hot pizza ass values her mind and knows an expensive diploma doesn’t make you better than anyone else. Your relationship with learning is a lifelong journey. And like Oprah said, when you know better, you do better. Thou shalt have the courage to say no  - when a hot pizza ass steps into her power, everyone wants a slice. Whether it’s a relationship proposition, a job opportunity, an investment of money or time, or a diet tea instagram collab. A hot pizza ass knows when to say no if it doesn’t feel right, or in alignment with her higher self Thou shalt stay inspired - Indulge your inner hot pizza ass, like Qveen Herby said “treat her real good because she is talented.” Listen to Hot Pizza Ass to stay inspired and to be introduced to others on our same journey. Take your inner artist on dates. Buy her some skin care. Meditate. Spend time in nature. Journal. remember that every day is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Spend them wisely. Cultivate them beautifully. And always, always be open to miracles.
