On today's episode: body image, diet culture and the Almond Mum.
We dive into the concept of the Almond Mum, a new term that has emerged from Tiktok and inspired by Gigi and Bella Hadid’s mother Yolanda. The Almond Mom describes an old phenomenon: mothers projecting their unhealthy relationship with food, diet, exercise and body image onto their children, particularly their daughters.
This week, Lexie recommends 'The Medical Medium and the True Believer' in Vanity Fair as well as taking a look at Natalie Portman’s Dior dress at Cannes Film Festival (see our Insta) and Charlotte recommends Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules and the 'Scandoval' saga.
