In this episode, curve model and body confidence advocate Sophie Hughes talks to Lindsey about body image, disordered eating, and the dangerous messages we’ve absorbed since childhood. From sneaking skipped meals as a teen to a life-changing liver donation, Sophie shares how she shifted from punishing her body to respecting it - and what self-acceptance truly looks like.

We talk about breaking diet culture cycles, redefining exercise as something joyful, and raising the next generation with healthier attitudes toward food and body image. A reminder: your body isn’t a trend, and it’s certainly not the most important thing about you.

Here are the Highlights:

(03:41) The impact of diet culture

(12:57) Therapy and self-acceptance
