Saying Goodbye To The Blogger Interview Series
For the past 5 months, we have been running a recurring blogger interview feature here on OthFit. Over that time we have published 13 blogger interviews and met some truly wonderful people. It is one of our most successful projects so far.
We have decided to put a hold on the feature at lucky #13. Honestly, we meant to stop at 10 but still had some great interviews that we wanted to publish. When we decided to start the featured blogger interviews we thought it would be a quick, fun way to give back while meeting fellow bloggers. In that respect, I can honestly say that our blogger interview series was a great success.
What I failed to take into account was how time-consuming the whole process would be. For every interview we published there were at least 2 that never made the cut. We tried to work with some of the bloggers to make necessary edits but we often ran out of time and had to scramble to get interviews published in time.
Blogger Interview Excerpt
As a way of saying thanks, I wanted to put together a short roundup of the top blog posts recommended in each blogger interview. I highly recommend that you read their whole interview. Each of them turned out great.

Top Blog Post: ‘Let’s talk about Masturbation’. It sparked some great conversations with both men and women, and I’ve had women message me saying they could relate and that for them too, masturbation was a very taboo topic growing up. I guess I want people with vulvas to feel comfortable with exploring their body, and that their pleasure is extremely important! But that it’s also okay not to masturbate or have sex; it’s all about the freedom of choice.

Top Blog Post: Thankful for my struggle-Finding the good living with chronic illness. I wrote this post after reaching quite a significant part in my chronic illness journey, for want of a better word. I’m an optimist and while I don’t necessarily believe everything happens for a reason, I think we can see good in most situations. In this post, I discuss whether it’s possible to be thankful for something that has destroyed your life and if so how? It was a vulnerable piece for me to write and I think it lets the reader get a sense of who I am quite quickly.

Top Blog Post: “Evie’s Law Continues the Fight for Discrimination-Free Organ Transplants“. I would recommend this blog post because it highlights the discrimination that people with disabilities are facing regarding organ transplant eligibility. In 80% of the country, it is legal for someone to deny a transplant for someone with down syndrome for example. In my research for this post, it shocked me, and I have a chronic illness!
