Summary

If you’re listening to this episode, we reckon it’s safe to say you’re well aware of the body positivity movement, or at the very least, one of the fractions of its evolution; whether that be the self love movement or body confidence one. It’s within those, after all, that we really made our names. 


Today, we’re taking you back to the inception of the body positive movement, which started by and for plus-size black women. In this episode, we dive into how the movement has changed beyond recognition - and where its future may lie. 


Thanks so much to our amazing guests who feature on this episode: Stephanie Yeboah, Jade Elouise, Holly Hagan and Phillippa Diedrichs

This episode is sponsored by Nivia-rich nourishing body lotion, the perfect solution for dry skin that gives you an extra glow.

I love having moisturised skin. It makes my skin look and feel so healthy and just makes me feel in general like I have my life together a bit, you know?

0:16.4

It's one thing that my mum has always done religiously and she's always encouraged us to do it too.

0:21.3

And I especially love moisturising in the winter because my skin can get so dry with the cold weather

0:26.4

and indoor heating. So applying moisturiser helps replenish the lost moisture and creates a protective

0:33.5

barrier to lock it in. And what better product to do so than Nivius rich nourishing body

0:38.4

lotion. It has a new and improved formula containing hyalronic acid that moisturises and deeply

0:44.4

nourishes, leaving your skin soft and smooth but without feeling greasy. And plus, it absorbs

0:49.6

quickly, which I love because I'm way too impatient to wait around for moisturiser to dry.

So, if you want to have confidence in your skin every day, as well as 72-hour moisturisation,

backed by science and loved by thousands, including me.

1:12.0

Anyone who follows me on Instagram will know I've been taking Simpriv for years and credited

1:16.4

with improving so much of my physical health. It's also been a non-negotiable for me during

1:21.8

this pregnancy, but also for the years before it too. It really has. You've struggled to get

1:27.0

and keep much down you,

1:28.2

but I know that SimProve has been super important. And for good reason, SimProve is science-backed,

1:34.2

water-based, and is the UK's number one gut health supplement. Also, I know you just love the

1:39.9

brand and I'll never forget when you worked with them a few years ago and literally wore a dress

1:43.8

solely made of toilet roll,

strutting down your street in the middle of the day.
