In this episode of Sunshine & Rain, Maya Finoh—plus-sized model and fat liberation advocate—shares her journey of learning to love her body after years of judgment and internalized shame.

Maya reflects on growing up under constant scrutiny, what it took to unlearn those messages, and how they moved from survival to self-acceptance. Together, we explore how body image is shaped, how healing happens, and why self-love is an ongoing practice.

Maya also offers guidance for allies and parents of plus-sized children, sharing what real support and affirmation can look like.

At its core, this conversation is about reclaiming your sense of self—and choosing to see your body with compassion and power.

DJ to the Stars Jay Murphy has played stages around the world, but behind the scenes he's been navigating something far more personal, a vitiligo diagnosis, a near-fatal car accident, and the quiet, daily work of staying grounded when everything is moving at full speed. In this candid and deeply moving conversation, Jay opens up about processing his vitiligo diagnosis as an adult, why he calls the skin condition "a touch from God," the moment he walked away from a major accident without a scratch, and the 40-day annual fast he's been committed to for over a decade that he credits with unlocking a level of spiritual clarity that no industry could give him. This one is equal parts testimony and toolkit. Don't miss it.
