It's time for the second of my #26Habits and after breaking my habit of daily shop-bought coffees it's time to make a habit...

Iskra Lawrence (@iskra) is a model and self-care advocate who joins me in this episode to talk about her quest to help women feel stronger, happier, more confident and find their beauty from the inside out.  Her story is nothing short of inspirational; told she was 'too big' for modelling at aged 15 she decided that rather than changing herself she'd change the industry, and more specifically, promote a healthy lifestyle and body image. In this conversation we talk about why it's so important to have a healthy relationship with your body, why practising self-care is so important, why social media can be a weapon of mass destruction, addressing self-esteem in schools and much more... Iskra has been recognised as one of the BBC's 100 World's Most Influential Women, gave a rousing TEDx Talk about the need to abandon unrealistic beauty standards and is on a mission to inspire, which is where her new app everyBody with Iskra comes in.  The app is a new digital health and wellness platform, which will offer a range

It's time for a #26habits update and the benefits and drawbacks of having eliminated shop-bought coffee. I'm ten days in and although there have been no headaches (apparently I metabolise caffeine like a champ) it hasn't been entirely comfortable. You've also been asking a lot of beauty questions so I thought it was time to share with you what I've been using recently and why I've been getting so many compliments.

Jo Hoare (@jojolizzy) is an author and journalist who joins me on the podcast to talk about her career on magazines, she was Style Editor of Heat for 11 years, and how she has transitioned into an author with seven titles in print and another on the way. We unpick her creative process and I ask her to share the details of her first fiction novel, which she is currently working on. In this episode we discuss print and online journalism, whether it's okay to mine your own life for a commission how Jo developed her tone of voice (clue: she's dry AF) and how messy the creative process can be.

Bonus Episode:  Joining me on a special mid-week episode of the show it's Carlene Higgins and Jill Dunn from the fabulous podcast Breaking Beauty.  Like me, Carlene and Jill have a background in print journalism, but felt that the podcast was where it was at - and, of course, I agree! As they say in the tagline for their show, 'behind every bestselling beauty product, there's a damn good story,' and each week they put their journalistic hats on and take you behind a brand, trend or story from the beauty industry.  They kindly had me on their show and I was only too happy to reciprocate.  So here we are, on the phone via the internet so please bear with some of the audio issues, talking about knowing your worth (when others don't!), why it's important to diversify in a digital age and much much more...     Hosted on Acast.
