Accepting love when you're struggling to love yourself with Alicia McCarvell

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 Alicia is certainly living hers!
