This week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by journalist Billie Bhatia! Back in February, the Sunday Times published an article written by Billie all about her desire to lose weight and the difficulties she has faced in the process. The girls wanted to talk to Billie and confront their own conflicting feelings and values as they are immersed in an online culture where self acceptance is key. The fear around publishing this episode is that it could trigger listeners, and despite it being purposefully confronting, if you feel the need to skip this episode, do what you need to do! This conversation dives deep into the thin ideal, the fear we have around calories, what it means to be happy and why, exactly, does Billie have the right to lose weight?
