In this episode, Boonie returns from hiatus with laughs, honesty, and real conversation. I’m joined by influencer and comedian Kurvy Katie, whose evolution from plus-size fashion content creator to viral comedic voice has resonated across Instagram and TikTok. Together, we break down creativity, dating, self-worth, and the cultural shifts shaping how women—especially women in their 40s—show up online and in real life.
We get into:
🎭 Curvy Katie’s journey from fashion influencer to comedy and what going viral really looks like behind the scenes 👗 The challenges plus-size creators face in fashion and media—and how representation (or the lack of it) impacts content 📚 Black BookTok, romance novels, and Katie’s ambitious goal of reading 150 books in a year 💔 Dating in your 40s, modern dating fatigue, and why good conversation matters more than ever
