In this episode, we talk about the business of blogging with fempreneur Corissa Enneking, founder of fatgirlflow.com. Corissa was fucking sick of working in an office, so she just went ahead and did something about it. She started a blog with the plan to lean out and in just six months she left her day job to run Fat Girl Flow full time.
Today, Corissa is managing a business model focused on building a community, running affiliate marketing, and selling merchandise that is all about body positivity and plus size fashion. She is simply killing it and taking back terms that have been brought her community down.
