Primeau & Grose: Behind the Scenes

On yesterdays show J'Lyn Nye and I were discussing body image and how it has affected girls as young as 5. The conversation turned to women in general and I made the comment that a woman's fear of weighing herself has never made sense to me. It's just a number. J'Lyne, who has recently been trying on wedding dresses, went off on it and opened up about how she felt to be a certain dress size and why it wasn't just a number. I sat back and listened. It was the best bit of radio I've been involved with in quite some time. It was honest. It was from the heart. It moved me.

We were suddenly flooded with texts like "You go girl!" and "Preach it J'Lyne." When she was done and we had thrown to a break she started to apologise and I stopped her. There was absolutely nothing to be sorry for. It was great. I love when talk radio is honest and emotional. It becomes so interesting to listen to and it sheds light on a topic like no other medium can.

It also made me feel like J'Lyne had finally joined me unconditionally as a partner. She wasn't following my lead. She was leading and I loved it.
