22: The Life of YOU: 'There’s so much anti-fat bias in healthcare,' with Laura Adlington
Description
Welcome to The Life of YOU, where we tackle life’s toughest moments with honesty and humour. In this special bonus episode, I’m joined by Laura Adlington, beloved Great British Bake Off finalist and advocate for body acceptance and mental health.
Today, Laura helps listeners navigate a series of deeply personal dilemmas:
- Becky feels "stitched up" as a bridesmaid dealing with a non-inclusive boutique.
- Priya’s struggling with body confidence and fears around intimacy after ghosting experiences.
- And Lexi is battling anti-fat bias in healthcare when all she wanted was a rabies jab!
Laura brings her trademark warmth and wit to share advice on setting boundaries, finding confidence, and advocating for yourself when the world makes it difficult.
