From the practical challenges funeral homes face, to the surprising realities of cremation, burial, equipment, and dignity in death, we explore the parts of the journey no one prepares you for.

The Weight of Time: Aging, Obesity, and the Body’s Changing Rules

In this episode of Kate and Isaiah Living Large, we dig into a topic a lot of people feel but rarely talk about openly — how aging and obesity shape each other. As we get older, the rules of our bodies seem to change overnight. Muscle loss, slower metabolism, joint pain, fatigue… everything hits differently, and living in a bigger body adds another layer that can feel overwhelming.
We share our personal experiences with aging, the fears that come with it, and the awkward truth that some things simply get harder. But we also talk about what we’re learning — how to adapt, how to be kind to ourselves, and how to build a life that works with our bodies instead of fighting against them.
If you’ve ever wondered why “getting older” feels extra complicated when you’re living large, this episode is for you.
Let’s get real, get honest, and learn to age on our own terms.

We share our personal experiences, how we cope when health worries hit, and what it means to care for yourself with compassion instead of fear.
