75: Jess' Real Story "I want to forgive my thighs for not meeting my mum's expectations"


Listen Later

Does your mum make you feel bad about your body? Does she comment on your weight or tell you how much to eat?

Your mum may never stop dieting. Or commenting on your weight.

This is a sad – but important thing to realise – your mother may never change.

Luckily, you can change how you respond to her comments – and see them for what they are, disordered eating and really crumby body image compounded over many years.

Unfortunately, this is a concept familiar to so many people – including today’s guest, Jess Robinson.

Jess is an award-winning British actor and celebrated voice artist. Yet behind the spotlight, she is battling with body image and diet culture.

I was so excited to chat with Jess because she doesn’t shy away from vulnerability. We rewind to her upbringing, where her mother's diet pursuits and comments lead to so many years pursuing an unattainable body.

I loved this chat, we chatted about shedding harmful narratives, embracing intuitive eating, and establishing strong boundaries to protect ourselves from other people’s comments.

But the best part of Jess’ Real Story – is how incredibly far she has already come. And I know her life will continue to be filled with those light-bulb moments.

Realising how GOOD life can actually be, without dieting.

Ps. If you adored Jess as much as I did - check her out on Instagram.
