What does it really take to step onto a TEDx stage… and what happens after the applause fades? In this episode of Big Sexy Chat, fan-favorite guest Jen McClellan returns to share the deeply personal story behind her recent TEDx talk. While many people see the polished final talk, few…
Imagine standing on a stage… and hearing the worst things people have said about you… out loud. Not imagined. Not exaggerated. Real comments. Real screenshots. That’s what Jen McClellan did during her TEDx talk. And in that moment, with all of it echoing around her, she kept telling herself: hold…
She’s spoken for years. Taught full rooms. Owned the stage. And still… this was different. Because this time, it wasn’t about teaching. It was about being seen. Sharing her own story. Facing the fear, the internalized voices, and the quiet question of “what will people think?” Even something as simple…
Everyone sees the TEDx talk… but almost no one hears the story behind it. Jen McClellan returns to Big Sexy Chat to share what it actually took to step onto that stage. The vulnerability. The pressure. The preparation. And the reality of navigating the world in a fat body while…
As 2025 comes to a close, Big Sexy Chat gathers for a powerful, unfiltered roundtable on what this year took from the fat community, what it revealed, and what 2026 is demanding in return. Joined by Saucye West, Bruce Sturgell, and Ronald Young Jr., we move beyond headlines and buzzwords…
What if dating apps were built for real bodies, real needs, and real safety? In this Season 5 premiere of Big Sexy Chat, we sit down with Liz Gewirtz, founder of Hips, Crips & Queers, a new dating and community platform centering queer, fat, disabled, and older folks. Liz shares…
“If you’re fat, they swipe left. If you’re disabled, they swipe left. If you’re older, they swipe left.” Dating apps like to call it “preference.” A lot of people experience it as erasure. This clip gets into why so many people give up on dating apps entirely, and what alternatives…
“I don’t waste my time.” Dating while fat is already complicated. Add age, disability, or anything else outside the algorithm’s favorite body type, and honesty becomes survival. Chrystal says what a lot of people live. Season 5, Episode 1 of Big Sexy Chat is out now. 🎧 Listen here: https://www.bigsexychat.com/dare-to-date-meet-hips-crips-queers/
A dating app that centers fat, disabled, queer, and older folks. No weight-loss talk. No hiding your body. No pretending you’re smaller than you are. This clip explains what Hips, Crips & Queers was built to be, and who it’s for. Full conversation in Big Sexy Chat Season 5, Episode…
New season. New episode. New conversations about who dating apps are actually built for. We’re talking community, safety, desire, boundaries, and what gets left out of most platforms. Season 5 starts here. 🎧 Full episode: https://www.bigsexychat.com/dare-to-date-meet-hips-crips-queers/
“I don’t want loving yourself to be a forever journey. I want it to end at ‘I love myself. Period.’” This hit us hard. So many people are told to keep working toward self-love like it’s a finish line they never quite reach. This is a reminder that you don’t…
Pizza or tacos? Hard pants or soft pants? Hand or toy? C*ck or mock? (you’ll have to listen to the full episode for that one.) Important questions only. Life-altering decisions. The fate of civilization, probably. This episode gets heavy in all the right ways, but we also made room for…
This part of the conversation felt like someone finally saying the quiet thing out loud. If it was too hard, say that. If you’re tired, say that. If you couldn’t do it anymore, say that. What made 2025 exhausting wasn’t change. It was dishonesty. Ronald puts words to something so…
We don’t see enough space for men of any size to talk openly about their bodies, their feelings, or what they’re carrying. This moment with Bruce from Chubstr matters because vulnerability shouldn’t be rare, and it shouldn’t be brave just to be honest. There’s so much here that doesn’t get…
“We’ll take the pretty ones… but leave everyone else behind.” If that sentence made your stomach drop, good. Because that’s the part of body positivity we don’t talk about enough. Ronald names how acceptability sneaks in, how value gets assigned, and how harm can still happen even inside movements meant…
Body positivity was never built for everyone. And pretending it was doesn’t make that harm disappear. Saucye breaks down the difference between feeling “acceptable” and being truly free, and why fat liberation isn’t about fitting in. It’s about being seen without conditions. This isn’t a soundbite. It’s a truth. 🎧…
This episode isn’t about hot takes. It’s about taking stock. What 2025 took. What it exposed. And what we’re still willing to fight for as we move into 2026. If you’ve been feeling tired, conflicted, hopeful, angry, or all of the above, this conversation is for you. 🎧 Still Here,…
Imagine getting paid $40 to review a sex toy. Yes. That’s the whole sentence. In this clip from Big Sexy Chat, we talk side hustles, sex toys, and why ToyChats is opening doors for everyday people to share honest feedback while getting compensated for their time and experience. If pleasure…
Spoiler alert: you don’t need a massive following. You just need to be real.

That’s what makes reviews actually useful. If you’ve ever thought,…
So… what is ToyChats anyway? In this clip from Big Sexy Chat, we break down what makes ToyChats different: real people reviewing real sex toys, without brand scripts or marketing nonsense.

Teen Merf: “I could make these dolls do things.” Adult Merf: Yep. That checks out. In this hilarious clip from Big Sexy Chat, we reflect on early curiosity, imagination, and how some personality traits are simply lifelong companions.

Queer communities. Disabled communities. Sex workers. In this clip from Big Sexy Chat, we talk about where some of the most important sex tech innovation actually comes from.
