This week, I chat to the wonderful Sarah Nicole Landry about her fascinating journey towards self-love. Having initially built a platform on making herself smaller, Sarah’s life was transformed when she began nourishing her body and celebrating its “flaws”. In this episode, we get deep about the emotional and physical harm that diet culture can cause, and the importance of learning to listen to your own inner voice. We also talk about the highs and lows of existing in a pregnant and post-partum body, and how pregnancy can change your – and everyone else’s – relationship to your body. You can f ..read more

Last time I spoke to Amy, I thought she had made peace with her body and with food. It turns out… that wasn’t the case! After we last spoke, and during the pandemic, Amy recognised that her relationship with food wasn’t quite as ‘normal’ as she wanted to believe. We discuss the nuances of eating disorder recovery and the complicated comfort that can come from having an eating disorder. Inevitably, this episode does contain discussions of eating disorders which may be triggering. Follow Amy on Instagram @heyamylouise The Light Show is produced and edited by Daisy Grant ..read more

This episode is with one of my favourite Instagrammers, Kenzie Brenna! She talks about her role on social media as someone who shows an alternative to diet culture while never preaching that her view is the only way. We discuss the power of community, meditation and sensitivity. She explains how she’s learnt to pick her battles, and avoid in-fighting with those who ultimately want the same things as she does.    You can follow Kenzie on Instagram @kenziebrenna or listen to her podcast, Conversations With Kenzie, on all podcast platforms.

This week, I chat to psychologist, writer and presenter Emma Kenny. You might recognise Emma from ITV’s This Morning as their resident psychologist. She has had her fair share of controversy in the media, but our focus for this episode was the power of mindfulness and how it can used as a tool for empowerment and happiness. Emma talks about how the capitalist, western system of living is failing individuals and ultimately leaving us unfulfilled. Emma is the founder of the new health and wellbeing social media app, Appy.  You can find out more about Emma through her website, ekenny.co.uk a ..read more

Beth seizes the opportunity and the mic to debunk myths about food groups, metabolism and, of course, diets. We cover the importance of one’s relationship to food and how there is simply no such thing as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ foods. She emphasises that no-one is a lost cause when it comes to their relationship to food, and I hope this episode teaches you something that can positively impact yours!   You can follow Beth on Instagram @the ..read more

This week, I chat to TikTok superstar Alicia McCarvell! I was so excited to get her on the pod – she is bold and brave and not afraid to speak her mind. We discuss the role shame plays in society’s treatment of fat women, from the boring, boxy styles of clothes designed for them, to the way strangers make cruel assumptions and judgements about them. Alicia talks about finding compassion for those who make the assumptions as well as for those who are subject to them. She describes having made a pact with herself to NEVER miss out on things for fear of what others think. Life is for living, and ..read more

This week, I chat to the wonderful Taylah Roberts. Taylah is a former model (now brilliant photographer, check out her work @naturetonurturephotography on Instagram) whose teenage years and early twenties were marred by the influence of the fashion industry. Taylah was encouraged to obsess over and control the size of her body, as if this were a necessary part of pursuing the career of her dreams. This unfortunately and somewhat inevitably led to Taylah developing an eating disorder. I was shocked to hear about the lengths her employers went to to keep her so small, not to mention all of the p ..read more
