The Papaya Podcast

OG blogger, Roxanne West of the Bonjour Bliss Blog is known for her incredible home designs, impeccable fashion sense, adorable family and their travel together. What many didn’t know was that Roxanne was recently faced with one of the biggest decisions of her life; the decision to explant her breast implants. In this non-judgmental approach to her personal story, Roxanne takes us through how she came to this decision, and how she’s doing just WEEKS post op, and her first time traveling (and shopping) without her implants as she adjusts to a new form. We hope this conversation is light and informative around something we’re just newly discovering and discussing today.

If you visit Huda Alvi’s Instagram page you’ll see the words “Brown Girl Breaking Stigmas One Caption At A Time”, and this conversation with her is no different. Huda takes us through her own journey through marriage, divorce, the impact of it all on her family and then remarriage with a blended family. Huda is a wealth of life experience, and perspective that not many of us are often aware of when it comes to racial and cultural differences on topics as simple as dating, and as devastating as divorce. These conversations aren’t always comfortable to have, but Huda navigates them oh-so-well. She’s smart, honest, and approachable.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, and it felt important to bring this topic to the podcast. With the diagnosis of endo taking often up to a decade, and too often it’s symptoms being called “normal” this was an opportunity for us to learn from another’s story so we are encouraged to become advocates for ourselves and our health. That’s where Leslie comes in. She’s young, cool as hell, and the mom to the world’s most famous pug, Doug. Her life is absolutely insane, from red carpets, a toy line, super bowl commercials and then to suffering in pain with this crippling disorder. Leslie shares her experience with endometriosis and how online community helped her along the way, and why she hopes to continue to spread awareness, including through music and her own online platform. Follow Leslie @LeslieMosier on Instagram, along with @DougThePug and her husband (and support human) @RobChianelli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X9BA28oKH4&feature=youtu.be Mentioned in the podcast: Nanny’s Nook Endometriosis Education Public Group on Facebook.

As one of the original internet home bloggers, Elsie Larson is well known for her style, her classic pink front door, her two adorable daughters, and a Pinterest-worthy EVERYTHING. The blog she shares with her sister, Emma, called “A Beautiful Mess”, is a place of joy and inspiration that’s proven longevity on the internet in a day in age where everything feels so fleeting. What’s unique about Elsie (and Emma) is how they’ve taken the experiences of being creators and made it easier for other creators. How exactly? Apps. Four of them exactly (and I use them!). But, that’s not all. In this conversation, Elsie also opens up about International adoption, the story of her two daughters, with some really real chats about the process for her. As a long-time fan of Elsie’s, this chat was a really amazing peek into her life, her heart, and her passions!
