21 NOV. 2024 · I stumbled across a bunch of home renovation videos on TikTok the other day and this app knows me so well that it showed me a video of a tall family customizing their own home. Like from scratch. In the video, they literally had a picture of them sitting in front of the wood structure of their home.
Their home consisted of raised countertops, 8-foot doorways, 10-foot ceilings, etc. and this creator in particular documented her whole journey of creating her tall friendly home. And she’s not the only one. There was a whole slew of videos with tall people customizing and renovating their homes from raised countertops to higher cabinets to tall-friendly furniture. There were even tall friendly apartments with features that catered to tall people.
But how much does this stuff cost?
To raise your doorways, it can cost up to $1,000 per doorway. Raised countertops? Up to $3,000. Raise the height of your ceiling? Several THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. And we haven’t gotten to other specialized features like closets and tall friendly furniture.
In this episode, we explore how expensive it can be to live and exist as a tall person. Home customizations. Clothing. Healthcare. Transportation. Food???? To learn more about this and a very controversial opinion that comes from this, tune in to the full episode!

Tall Girl Stereotypes episode: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/are-tall-women-too-masculine-the-truth-about-tall-girl-stereotypes--61316039 -- https://www.spreaker.com/episode/are-tall-women-too-masculine-the-truth-about-tall-girl-stereotypes--61316039
Today we’re talking about being tall AND black (especially darker-skinned) as a woman. This topic has been brought up in my DMs and my comments over the past few days. I did plan on speaking about this topic at a later time; however, because of the recent requests, I just took this as a sign to do this now.
Just a few quick disclaimers that are bulleted:
- I identify as Black and I am mostly black genetically. While I am mixed, I am most in touch with my Black side so I do say I am Black.
- While I do face some of the struggles of being a Black woman, I do acknowledge that colorism exists. If you didn’t know, I am a light-skinned woman. I am light with light-colored eyes, so I am aware that there are times when I’m treated differently because of how I look.
- This episode will discuss slavery. If this is a sensitive topic for you, DO NOT tune in to this episode. Protect your peace babes.
“Being tall and Black isn’t for the weak.” “People give so much hate to tall, dark-skinned girls.” These are some of the comments and messages I’ve received over the past few days. And now’s the time to address them.
The way that people act towards us is largely due to the stereotypes given to both Black women AND tall women. What are these stereotypes? And how does it affect how people see tall, Black women? Tune in to the full episode to find out!

7 NOV. 2024 · We have a very very special guest with us today: Judy Stewart from Trèsolz!
Trèsolz is a brand that’s on a mission to provide women with larger feet with stylish and affordable footwear options. Just like with having long legs, long arms, and a longer torso, having larger sized feet can make it very difficult to find shoes in the styles that we want in the size that we need. Bigger brands often go up to a size 10 or 11 and barely go past that, leaving women with feet in a size 12 and up struggling to find footwear options that work for them.
The founder, Judy Stewart, faced this struggle herself. As a woman with a wide size 10.5 foot, she struggled with finding good quality, stylish shoes, often having to deal with frumpy, poor quality selections. And when she did find styles that she liked that were also good quality, the price was extremely high or the shoe itself was uncomfortable. After struggling for years, she decided to start Trèsolz and now helps other women across Canada and beyond feel beautiful in their shoes, no matter their size.
Tune in to the full episode to learn more about Judy’s journey to starting Trèsolz, why brands don’t make extended sizes for tall women, how footwear affects your confidence, and more!
**And don't forget to check Judy out on Dragons' Den (if you're in Canada on CBC) at 8 pm EST***

Happy Happy Halloween everyone!
If you’re watching the video version of this episode, I do have a little costume on lol. Quite literally just a little witch hat. But that’s the most I’ve done in years! Fun fact, I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since middle school; in recent years, I’ve literally printed out a picture of the map of India and taped it on my shirt. Get it? India the person dressing up as India the country? Clever, right?
But this year I wanted to try so I literally bought a little witch hat lol.
Make sure you stay safe out there this Halloween!
Today’s episode is actually fitting for today. If you’re a tall girl and you need a last minute costume, just be a villain or monster. It’s perfect. Okay, that sounded wrong - hear me out because I have a quick take:
Tall women are monsters.
Tall women are scary. Tall women are evil. This is what the media wants us to think by primarily casting tall women as villains in movies, especially Disney animated films. My question to you is: Have you ever noticed that in quite a few animated Disney movies, the woman villains tend to be on the taller side while the princesses and woman protagonists are on the shorter side? Are you seeing a pattern or am I just bugging?
No tea, no shade to Disney movies or any other movies!! This is just my personal opinion.
So, how did this topic come about? How is this affecting tall girls? Tune in to the full episode for more!

24 OCT. 2024 · For today’s episode, we are talking about tall people and sports as well as my journey as an athlete.
“Do you play basketball?”
“Oh you must play basketball or volleyball.”
Those were two of the most common comments I’ve gotten as a tall girl growing up and honestly even at this age. And you’d be surprised just how disappointed some people were when I’d tell them that I don’t. Like I’m sorry…but you’re a random stranger. Why does it matter to you???
It’s pretty common that when somebody sees a tall person, they think that that tall person has some type of natural athleticism or would be good at sports. Well, newsflash…not all of us play or have played sports. Crazy, right?? However, there was a time where I did play sports. And that’s what we’re talking about today.
I want this episode to be for the tall girlies who feel some type of pressure to play sports because of their height or have other interests besides sports. If this is you or you’re just genuinely interested in hearing about my journey, tune in!

17 OCT. 2024 · So apparently, there are people who think that tall people are privileged? Like there’s a term called ‘tall privilege’. I guess I’m not tall enough to know what it is since it’s the first time I’m hearing about this. Since it’s my first time and it may be your first time, we’re learning this together. I looked it up on Google and AI suggestions said that ‘tall privilege’ is essentially the advantages taller people may have over shorter people. It’s often interchangeable with height privilege, height bias, etc.
If you’ve heard of pretty privilege, it’s similar to that just with height. Tall privilege can show up in different areas of life, but it seems to be a big thing in the dating world. Scrolling through TikTok, videos really highlight this in that they tend to claim that men often get more attention and more choices in the dating world if they’re on the taller side.
So how does tall privilege affect tall people? Do tall women experience this? Tune in to the full episode for more!

3 OCT. 2024 · So for today’s episode we are talking about tall women being called “big”, why that’s an issue in my opinion, and how we as tall women can remain confident and remember that some people don’t mean it in an insulting way.
First and foremost, as a community, let’s stop calling tall women “big”. To be honest, “big” and “tall” are 2 completely different things in my opinion. Let’s just stick with “tall”, okay?
It’s fairly offensive to call a tall woman, or any woman for that matter, “big” and here’s why:
“Big” for a woman has a negative connotation to it in two ways. First, we’re taught from a young age that we’re supposed to be small, not seen, out of the way, and honestly just there when needed. So, when you have a tall girl, who already sticks out, feels out of place, and is ridiculed for something she naturally has (which is her height) and then you point out the fact that she’s “bigger” than her peers, “bigger” than the people around her, how do you think she’s gonna feel?
If you said self-conscious, you’re right.
The second way is that “big” is often tied to the terms “fat” or “overweight”. I personally don’t like using those terms because society has placed such a negative connotation with them, but because “big” is associated with such negative words, we’re going to take it as an insult. And honestly I feel like this is something very very common for a tall plus sized woman.
Why do people even call tall women “big” to begin with? How can we respond to those who call us “big”? Tune in to the episode for a deep dive!

26 SEP. 2024 · Today’s episode was actually inspired by an event that occurred in the past week. I’m trying to update/upgrade my wardrobe and for real this time because I know I’ve been saying that for the ENTIRETY of this podcast, but we got our stuff figured out so we’re doing it this time. Anyways, I went to Loft Outlet which is basically a store with last season’s/last year’s clothing items from the actual Loft store.
I was looking around and looking at some items and then I stumbled upon the petite section. So I’m looking at this like okay….where is the tall section???
Crickets.
Nowhere to be found.
And that’s the issue with many brands. They will have the standard sizes of course but sometimes, they’ll have a petite section in stores. And no tall section, which makes ZERO sense to me because it’s like if you’re gonna cater to one end of the height spectrum, why not cater to the other end as well?
Anyways, the big question here is why don’t big brands make clothing for tall women? In this episode, I do a deep dive into this question and so much more. Make sure to tune in!

With the rise of social media and the Internet, it’s easier than ever for people to communicate with others from all over the world, including complete strangers, in both public and private settings. People are able to leave comments, send messages, make posts, and more and this makes way for cyberbullying and online harassment.
First, let’s start off with:
What is Online Harassment?
According to the Durham University, online harassment is the use of information and communication technologies by an individual or a group to cause harm to another person. This can take various forms, such as derogatory comments, unsolicited advice, stalking, and even sustained harassment.
So, what are some examples of online harassment towards tall women? Do tall women get bullied because of their height? Tune in to the full episode for more!
