Priss and Tay have lost over 300 pounds combined, but that doesn’t mean motivation magically stays high or that the mental side of the journey gets easier. This week, they’re talking about what it actually looks like to keep showing up through anxiety, seasonal sadness, burnout, food guilt, changing routines, and the days when you just want to stay on the couch. They get into learning the difference between having a bad day and actually falling off track, letting go of the pressure to constantly “have it together,” and remembering that progress doesn’t have to look perfect. Because sometimes the healthiest thing you can do isn’t push harder — it’s give yourself a little grace and keep going. 💚 This episode is sponsored by Fridays.If you’re interested in learning more about medically supported weight-management options, check out Fridays using our link/code THEDOSEOFIT. 🎙️ New episodes of The Dose of It every Tuesday & Friday. #TheDoseOfIt #WeightLossJourney #WeightLossPodcast #GLP1Journey #WellnessJourney #Motivation #MentalHealth #FoodGuilt #WeightLossCommunity #LifestyleChange

Small circles, bigger boundaries, and dating stories that make you rethink who you let into your life. Priss and Tay get honest about friendship, trust, heartbreak, dating after weight loss, and what happens when relationships start making you feel like a smaller version of yourself. What starts as a chaotic card-draw episode turns into a real conversation about adult friendship breakups, protecting your peace, learning who you can truly lean on, and why having a small circle isn’t always a bad thing. They also open up about past relationships that became controlling, changing yourself to keep someone else happy, and the freedom that comes with finally choosing authenticity over approval. If you’ve ever questioned your friendships, your dating standards, or whether your circle is “too small,” this episode is for you. Funny, vulnerable, chaotic, and maybe a little healing. 💊🩷 #TheDoseOfIt #AdultFriendships #FriendshipBreakups #ProtectYourPeace #HealthyBoundaries #DatingAfterHeartbreak #DatingAfterWeightLoss #RelationshipTalk #ChoosingYourself #SelfWorth #HealingJourney #GirlTalkPodcast #WeightLossJourney #Dosies

Rest days are not the enemy - burnout is. In this episode, Tay and Priss talk about why slowing down can somehow make us feel guilty, anxious, or like we’re falling behind. When did being constantly busy become something to brag about and why do we confuse always doing something with actually making progress? From feeling stressed on a day off to filling every quiet moment with another task, they unpack the mental loops that make rest feel almost impossible. They talk about comparing your schedule to everyone else’s, saying yes when you really want to say no, and the difference between truly needing a reset and avoiding something you know needs to get done. Tay and Priss also get personal about anxiety, overthinking, and that weird fear that taking one day off will somehow undo everything you’ve worked for. The biggest reminder? Your productivity does not determine your worth. Sometimes progress looks like showing up, pushing yourself, and getting things done. And sometimes it looks like closing the laptop, canceling the plans, taking the nap, and giving yourself permission to reset. If you feel guilty resting, struggle to slow down, or constantly feel like you should be doing more, this episode is for you. 🛍️ Shop The Dose of It merch: A huge thank you to Fridays for sponsoring this episode of The Dose of It!

What do you wish someone had actually taught you before you became an adult? Priss and Tay are getting into the life lessons they wish someone had drilled into them at 18 starting with one that can follow you for YEARS if you don’t understand it early enough: credit. Before the Dosies get their weekly life lesson, Priss and Tay catch up on everything going on behind the scenes, merch wins, listener love, health updates, travel, and the very real struggle of trying to film and function when you’re just not feeling your best. Then it’s time for the stuff nobody really prepares you for. In this episode, Priss and Tay talk about: why understanding credit early matters way more than they realized the money habits they grew up around and what they wish had been different financial mistakes that can follow you well into adulthood the life lessons nobody seems to teach you until you’ve already learned them the hard way what they would tell their 18-year-old selves if they could go back Whether you’re 18 and just starting adulthood or 30 and still figuring out some of the things nobody bothered to explain, this episode is equal parts funny, relatable, and “wait… why DIDN’T anyone teach us this?” Consider this the conversation we wish we had before adulthood started adulting.

MERCH: https://the-dose-of-it-shop.fourthwall.com The Dosies are getting a full catch-up episode this week because Tay and Priss have A LOT to talk about. From the Texas trip and the merch launch to questionable food decisions, strong margaritas, swollen knees, post-travel sickness, and complete side-quest chaos, this episode is basically one giant life update. Tay and Priss kick things off talking about the official Dose of It merch drop, the vintage pharmacy-inspired designs, seeing Dosies actually order and wear the merch, and everything they’re already dreaming about for the next collection. Then it’s time for the full Texas recap. They get into virtual golf in New Braunfels, surviving the Texas heat, unexpectedly aggressive margaritas, and Tay’s first-ever seafood boil — complete with shrimp struggles, a brave mussel taste test, and a banana cream cheesecake that almost became the highlight of the entire trip. There’s also a massive barbecue spread, a dessert stop at That Little Stand in Seguin, and one cookie so good it may have permanently raised the standard for every cookie after it. And because no Tay and Priss trip would be complete without a little chaos, they also recap an antique store that felt straight out of a movie, a workout that accidentally destroyed their legs, and a walking adventure that somehow turned into what can only be described as a Jumanji stampede. Plus, the girls talk about everything coming up next — spooky season, birthdays, holiday plans, and the possibility of a Dosies slumber party episode. This one is less structured, more chaotic, and basically feels like sitting down with Tay and Priss after a trip and getting ALL the stories. Grab a snack, get comfortable, and come catch up with your favorite Dosies. 💊💕 #TheDoseOfIt #Dosies #Podcast #PodcastEpisode #TexasTrip #TravelRecap #GirlsTrip #MerchDrop #FunnyPodcast #LifestylePodcast #GirlTalk #TexasFood #CreatorPodcast #PodcastLife #UnfilteredPodcast

🛍️ THE DOSE OF IT MERCH IS OUT NOW!Shop the collection here: https://the-dose-of-it-shop.fourthwall.com When motivation disappears, that’s when the real work starts. This week on The Dose of It, Tay and Priss are talking about what happens when your weight loss journey isn’t brand-new anymore. The injections aren’t exciting. The scale may move slower. The gym, protein, water, and steps become routine. The habits you once worked so hard to build can suddenly feel… boring. So, are you losing motivation — or is this just your life now? Tay and Priss break down: The difference between boredom, burnout, and inconsistency Why progress can feel less exciting over time Hedonic adaptation and why big changes eventually feel “normal” Why boring routines are often proof of real growth How to keep going without making weight loss your entire identity Priss shares what it’s like to go from nearly 400 pounds to a completely different life while still having seasons of anxiety and feeling blah. Tay talks about being nearly 170 pounds down and still getting in her head when the scale slows or progress feels less obvious. Because transformation isn’t always exciting. Sometimes it looks like taking your walk, hitting your protein, moving your body, and simply living the life you worked so hard to create. Maybe the goal was never to stay obsessed with the journey forever. Maybe the goal was for it to become your normal. 🎙️ The Dose of It — hosted by Tay & Priss #TheDoseOfIt #GLP1Journey #WeightLossJourney #WeightLossPodcast #GLP1Community #ConsistencyOverMotivation

Pretty privilege. Skinny privilege. Getting treated differently after weight loss. Yeah… we’re going there. This Friday on The Dose of It, Priss and Tay pull from the jar and somehow end up in one of those conversations that starts funny and gets very real, very fast. They’re talking about what happens when your body changes but your brain still remembers exactly how people treated you before. Priss opens up about growing up in a bigger body, using humor as armor, and learning to make the joke first before anyone else could. Tay talks about being treated like “one of the bros,” the way attention shifted after losing weight, and how people suddenly seem a whole lot nicer when you take up less space. And then there’s the part nobody really prepares you for: when you finally reach the goal you swore would make you happy… and your brain immediately moves the finish line. In this episode, Priss and Tay get into pretty privilege, skinny privilege, dating, friendships, body image, loose skin, online comments, self-deprecating humor, and why learning to actually celebrate your progress can sometimes be harder than losing the weight itself. They also answer a Dosie’s message about losing nearly 100 pounds and realizing their goals are starting to feel more obsessive than empowering. Because sometimes the hardest part of changing your body is realizing how much your worth was never supposed to depend on it in the first place. Come hang with us for the laughs, the uncomfortable truths, and the reminder that you don’t have to keep moving the finish line to prove you’ve come far. 🎙️ New episodes of The Dose of It every Tuesday + Friday. #TheDoseOfIt #WeightLossJourney #GLP1Journey #BodyImage #PrettyPrivilege

A little dose of love for our sponsor 💌 Thank you to My Companion Box for sponsoring this episode of The Dose of It! If you want to check them out or sign up, visit mycompanionbox.com.The internet loves to call GLP-1 users lazy, say we “took the easy way out,” or act like our progress somehow counts less because medication was part of the journey. This week, Priss and Tay are getting into why that argument falls apart the second you actually understand what living with food noise, obesity, and a GLP-1 journey can look like.What starts as a conversation about online hate quickly turns into something much deeper: the mental load of weight loss, the shame attached to using medication, and all of the life-changing wins that have absolutely nothing to do with the number on the scale.Priss opens up about what it was like having constant food noise running in the background of her life and what changed when that noise finally got quieter. Tay shares how GLP-1s helped change her relationship with food, her confidence, and even the way she experiences everyday life.In this episode, Priss and Tay talk about:Why “just eat less” is way more complicated than people make it soundWhat food noise actually feels like when it controls so much of your dayWhy using a GLP-1 doesn’t mean you aren’t putting in the workHow medication, movement, nutrition, and mental health can all exist in the same journeyThe non-scale victories nobody prepares you for — planes, restaurant booths, amusement park rides, clothes, last-minute Halloween costumes, and moreConfidence after major weight loss and the weird imposter syndrome that can come with changing so muchReplacing old coping mechanisms with movement, self-care, and things that actually make you feel goodWhy nobody should have to suffer more just to prove their progress is “valid”Because the part of this conversation people tend to leave out is the emotional side.Changing your body doesn’t automatically change the way your brain sees you. Losing weight doesn’t erase years of insecurity overnight. And choosing to use a tool that makes your health journey more manageable does not take away from everything you’ve accomplished.If you’ve ever felt judged for using a GLP-1, questioned whether your progress “counts,” or felt like you needed to defend the way you chose to improve your health, this episode is for you.And even if you’ve never taken a GLP-1, this conversation is an honest look at what a major body and lifestyle transformation can actually involve beyond the before-and-after photos.At the end of the day, your health is not a morality contest.You do not owe anyone suffering for your success. 💊✨ SIGN UP FOR OUR MERCH LAUNCH - https://the-dose-of-it-shop.fourthwall.com#TheDoseOfIt #GLP1Journey #WeightLossJourney #FoodNoise #NonScaleVictories #WellnessJourney #GLP1Community #BodyConfidence

You think you know Priss and Tay… but do you actually? 👀 This week on The Dose of It, the girls pull a random Side Effects card and somehow end up unpacking all the things people assume about them based on what they see online. Priss gets into how people assume she’s super outgoing when she’s actually way more shy than you’d think, while Tay talks about body confidence, loose skin, being perceived online, and how people can build an entire version of you in their head from a 60-second video. And because this is The Dose of It, obviously the conversation does not stay in one lane. The girls also get into sexuality, attraction, dating men, dating women, exploring without shame, and what happens when someone is still figuring themselves out but isn’t being honest with the person they’re dating. Because listen… you do not have to have every label figured out. You do, however, have to communicate. 😭 They talk about the difference between exploring and leading someone on, why attraction can be way more complicated than people make it seem, and why honesty will always matter more than pretending you have yourself completely figured out. And somewhere in between all of that? Dolly Parton. TikTok Shop. Dehydration. Random side quests. Priss and Tay roasting each other like siblings. You know… a normal episode. In this episode, the Dosies are getting: The biggest misconceptions people have about Priss and Tay Shy girl energy vs. internet personality energy Loose skin, body confidence, and learning to feel comfortable in your body What it’s really like being perceived by thousands of people online Exploring sexuality without feeling pressured to label yourself Dating men, dating women, and being honest about what you actually want The difference between figuring yourself out and dragging someone else along for the ride A concerning amount of completely unrelated yapping Basically, if you like your wellness podcast with a little body image, a little dating drama, a little sexuality talk, and a LOT of “how did we even get on this topic?”… welcome home, Dosie. 💊🩷 Grab your emotional support drink, get comfy, and take your dose. #TheDoseOfIt #Dosies #WellnessPodcast #BodyConfidence #BodyImage #DatingTalk #Sexuality #SelfConfidence #GLP1Community #WeightLossJourney #GirlTalkPodcast #PodcastRecommendations #UnfilteredPodcast #SelfLoveJourney #RealTalk

Your journey is not a copy-and-paste situation. In this episode of The Dose of It, Tay and Priss are talking about how easy it is to look at someone else’s weight loss, workouts, meals, dose, or routine and start wondering, “Wait… should I be doing that too?” Spoiler: probably not exactly. Two people can eat similarly, move similarly, take the same medication, and still have completely different results. Bodies are different. Schedules are different. Budgets are different. Starting points are different. And what feels sustainable for one person might make someone else absolutely miserable. Tay shares how her relationship with movement has changed after losing 170 pounds and why she had to stop measuring her progress against what other people were doing online. Priss opens up about times she caught herself copying other creators and how she learned to figure out what actually works for her. They’re getting into: Why faster weight loss doesn’t automatically mean better When inspiration turns into comparison Walking vs. Pilates vs. lifting vs. whatever movement you actually enjoy Why someone else’s routine doesn’t need to become your routine Loose skin, confidence, and learning to appreciate your own progress How to take advice from creators without treating them like an instruction manual Because you can absolutely steal a page from someone else’s book… You just don’t need to start living their entire story. If you’ve ever felt behind because your journey doesn’t look like someone else’s TikTok, this one is for you.

Why is making friends as an adult basically dating… but somehow more awkward? This week, Tay and Priss are talking all things adult friendships the good ones, the weird ones, the ones that fall apart, and the ones that actually survive the uncomfortable conversations. They get into trust issues, friendship breakups, feeling like you have to “shoot your shot” just to make a new friend, and figuring out whether someone genuinely likes you or just likes what you can do for them. They also talk about how past friendship experiences can make you guarded, why vulnerability is terrifying but necessary, and why having a tiny circle of real people can be way better than having 20 surface-level friendships. Because apparently making friends as a grown adult requires confidence, emotional availability, social skills, and a small amount of delusion.

What happens when you stop waiting until you’re smaller, more confident, less scared, or more “ready” to start living your life? You do it scared. This week, Tay and Priss are joined by Tayler Newby mom, wife, GLP-1 creator, fitness lover, and the woman who somehow lost her original TikTok account and basically said, “okay cool, I’ll just build another one.” 😭 And build it she did… to 300K+ followers in just eight and a half months. Tayler gets real about losing 170 pounds, starting her journey at a med spa that was costing her $1,200 A MONTH — yes, we also screamed — switching from semaglutide to tirzepatide, and eventually finding a version of movement she actually loves. And apparently all it took was one Pilates class for her to become the person who genuinely wants to work out. Suspicious behavior, but we support it. We’re getting into: Going from plus-size fashion content to sharing her weight-loss journey with hundreds of thousands of peopleSemaglutide vs. tirzepatide and Tayler’s experience with bothFinding Pilates and realizing movement doesn’t have to feel like punishmentBody dysmorphia and the absolute mindfuck of your brain trying to catch up to your changing bodyInternet hate, unsolicited opinions, and why people suddenly have SO much to say when you lose weightRaising kids while sharing your life online and deciding what stays privateWhy bigger bodies deserve to take up space in fitness spaces tooAnd the mindset behind Tayler’s viral reminder: DO IT SCARED.Because confidence doesn’t always come first. Sometimes you walk into the class nervous. You post the video anyway. You wear the outfit. You start over. You take up space. And then the confidence catches up. Whether you’re on a GLP-1, starting over for the 47th time, terrified to walk into a gym, or waiting for some imaginary future version of yourself to finally start living, this is your dose to stop waiting. Do it nervous. Do it imperfectly. Do it scared. Just f*****g do it. 💗 #TheDoseOfIt #DoItScared #GLP1Journey #WeightLossJourney #BodyConfidence #PilatesJourney #FitnessJourney

Dating apps are either helping us find love… or giving us enough stories for an entire podcast episode. 😂 This week, Priss and Tay are getting into the absolute chaos of modern dating Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Facebook Dating, catfishing, height lies, instant icks, red flags, and the emotional damage of deciding whether you should redownload an app you JUST deleted. Priss shares how Tinder somehow worked out in her favor and led her to her husband, while Tay gets real about what dating has felt like after major weight loss being perceived differently, wondering if someone actually likes you, dealing with fetishization, and trying to figure out the difference between confidence and protecting yourself. And obviously… it gets unhinged. We’re talking horrible dates, a full-blown catfish situation, a blown tire, calling mom for backup, and those moments where one tiny thing happens and suddenly you’re like, “yeah… absolutely not.” Are dating apps actually ruining dating? Or are they just exposing how weird dating has always been? If you’ve ever swiped, matched, ghosted, been ghosted, deleted Hinge, redownloaded Hinge three days later, or questioned someone’s listed height… this one’s for you. 😂 🎧 Grab your headphones and get your weekly Dose of It. #TheDoseOfIt #DatingApps #DatingStories #ModernDating #WeightLossJourney #DatingAfterWeightLoss #TinderStories #PodcastGirls

Tay and Priss are talking about something no one really prepares you for after weight loss: figuring out how to dress a body that feels completely different. Losing weight can open up so many new clothing options, but that doesn’t automatically mean you know what your style is. In this episode, Tay and Priss get into the weird in-between of reaching for the sizes you used to wear, holding onto oversized clothes because they feel safe, and realizing that just because something finally fits doesn’t mean you actually like it. Tay shares how growing up with limited clothing options still affects the way she shops today, while Priss talks about losing 80 pounds and still instinctively grabbing the biggest size on the rack. They also get into body dysmorphia, comparison, inconsistent sizing, trend pressure, and why your brain can take a lot longer to catch up to the changes happening in your body. They talk about experimenting with Pinterest, thrifting, Depop, and secondhand shopping while your body is changing — without spending a fortune trying to build an entirely new closet overnight. Because finding your style after weight loss isn’t really about finding the “right” size. It’s about learning to ask a completely different question: Do I actually like this… or am I just excited that it fits? If you’ve ever looked at your closet and thought, my body changed… now what do I wear? — this episode is for you. #WeightLossJourney #BodyConfidence #BodyImage #FindingYourStyle #FashionAfterWeightLoss #PlusSizeToStraightSize #TheDoseOfIt #WeightLossPodcast #SelfConfidence

What’s actually worth spending your money on… and what’s just hype? 💸 This week, Taylor and Priss are talking about the things they’ve bought that actually made a difference in their everyday lives from beauty and wellness to fitness, home, and random little things they now swear by. We’re talking Hatch alarms, the Canon G7X, Pura diffusers, protein powders, weighted vests, lash extensions, nails, facials, matching workout sets, hair appointments and more. Basically: the things we’ll gladly spend the extra money on because they make us feel better, look better, or just make life easier. And of course, it wouldn’t be The Dose of It without getting a little deeper. Later in the episode, Taylor and Priss answer a listener question about body image, relationships, attraction, and the insecurity that can come with wondering how someone really sees you. There’s girl talk, overspending, self-care, confidence, a little chaos, and probably a few things you’ll add to your cart after listening. 😂 Tell us in the comments: what is ONE thing you refuse to cheap out on? #TheDoseOfIt #GLP1Journey #WeightLossJourney #BodyConfidence #Wellness #SelfCare #GirlTalk #WorthIt #Podcast #LifestylePodcast
