How To Be

Emma Guns is a podcaster, fellow beauty obsessor, journalist and writer. She has worked for some of the biggest publications in the UK and I wanted to dig a little deeper in to Emma’s journey. She is someone that is all about self improvement but in a realistic way, she’s not about showing the highlights of her journey but a real life reflection of the highs and lows, let’s face it, they’re both as important. 

In this episode, Emma tells her story of working with red label publications and her ambition of getting her dream job for OK Magazine and we also chat about how beauty has evolved in the media. 

I share a lot similar throughs with Emma, I absolutely love her approach and realism which is really evident when we chat about the current state of self love and the world of manifesting to achieve your goals.

There has been a lot of conversation on the podcast lately about weight and how we feel about our bodies, its becoming more and more apparent that so many of us feel quite similar when it comes to any conversation about our bodies…Emma and I also get quite deep about they way we feel about our bodies in this episode and have a really vulnerable and raw conversation about the relationships we both have with our bodies, our weight and binge eating. 

What we cover 

Ambition to getting your dream job 

Journalism & the media in beauty

Finding your own path 

Self help and how to self love

Amelia Goldsmith also known as Milly G Fit on socials is a content creator in the fitness space that talks a lot about her journey of recovery from an eating disorder. 

Milly experienced disordered eating and suffered with anorexia for 8 years, she is now a happier and healthier version of herself and shares her story across her social platforms to inspire others going through the same thing that there is a way out of having a difficult relationship with your body and with food.

In this episode we dive into Milly’s journey of recovery and how she has got to a point of freedom with food but also how her eating disorder started through something she saw in the media which just goes to show how scary and powerful social media and the media can be.

So many of us have difficult relationships with food and our bodies so I thought that it was really important to have someone like Milly on who can talk about the pressures we feel when it comes to how we look and also someone who lives for accepting her body for what it is. She’s super relatable and someone that I really hope you will take a lot away from. 

I asked Milly a ton of questions about how she manages to be consistent with food and the gym, how she has managed to build a healthy relationship with her body and how she’s actually achieved overcoming an eating disorder in real terms.

What we cover 

Disordered eating

Body dysmorphia 

Recovering from an eating disorder 

Losing your period 

Milly’s relationship with food

Shannon Lawlor is a beauty journalist and editor that keeps it 100% real. I have been desperate to have Shannon on the since before I launched Scenes Of Beauty, she is extremely passionate about beauty and the industry, in this episode shares her story of being a beauty insider and the real life of a beauty journalist.

Journalists, beauty journalists especially, often get slammed for giving us loads of BS and telling us what we should and shouldn’t be be doing when it comes to beauty, skincare, makeup and our bodies. What I love about Shannon and something that is apparent from the second we hit record on this conversation is that she is completely herself, she is unfiltered, honest, funny and genuinely here to help and advise people when it comes to beauty, products and beauty regimes. 

She shares her thoughts on how the beauty industry has changed and evolved with the influencer landscape and shared her advice on who to trust in the industry including Caroline Hirons.

We touch on every topic of beauty from her unmaksed version of the behind the scenes of being a part of the beauty media and press to products and shutting down some of the trends we see on social media. Shannon has a really interesting lens on the magazine and journalist landscape, something that we chat at length into about throughout the episode. 

As well as beauty, we chat about her personal life and dived deeper into elements of her personality unveiling things like confidence and lack of self esteem which was really interesting to hear and talk about and something that I think a lot of you guys as listeners will relate too. 

What we cover 

Real life of a beauty editor

Behind the scenes of beauty journalism

The power of social media 

Behind the scenes of beauty press

Fashion vs beauty

Being a freelance journalist 

Where to get the right advice for beauty

Beauty standards

Self esteem

Danielle Gilbert is a content creator in the beauty space that has built a substantial following of people who love her glam looks but above all, have an appreciation for Dani not being scared or ashamed to show who she is. Dani has Alopecia and as she should, fully embraces it and accepts it.

Dani was diagnosed with Alopecia when she was just 6 years old and in this episode, she shares her story of how she has never allowed it to define who she is or let it be something that holds her back. We dive deep into every areas of Dani's life and how Alopecia has played a role within that.

She is one of the most refreshing and positive people I’ve met in a really long time, she’s completely comfortable in her skin but more than that I believe that Dani has and continues to create a safe space online that welcomes people in and encourages them to feel empowered to be exactly who they are.

If you are struggling with alopecia or can't begin to accept it, this is a great place to start. Dani offers a positive perspective not only on alopecia but a wider lens of how to challenge beauty standards too.

What Dani is doing and I hope this episode does the same is super powerful in that it it gives perspective on how and why to be happy in ourselves. 

Please please take note of what Dani says and use it to feel empowered and inspired to accept yourself exactly as you are.

Bishmaber Das is Britains first Asian plus size model who has been on a journey of self discovery for the past 20 years. 

She is a lawyer and a magistrate by day and alongside has dedicated time to building herself into someone who is content, comfortable and inspired by who she is. 

One of the most refreshing and empowering conversations I’ve had to date, Bishamber is a complete boss but in her own way which I absolutely loved. After growing up with extreme pressures and constantly telling herself that she’s not good enough she now lives life on her terms.

There is so much value in this conversation, we touched on every topic including learning how to value and accept your body, how to be determined and passionate, that we all face pressures in some way or another and the only way to grow is by sharing. I really hope you take as much away from this conversation as I did.

What we cover 

Fitting in

Navigating external pressures 

Being plus size and body confident

Taking back control

Growing up in & around domestic abuse

Relationships

She tells the story of how she has learnt to accept her acne and allow it to be a part of who she is.

I loved this conversation because Isabella has such a pure approach and shares so many aspects of her life from being comfortable in her own body and embracing herself exactly as she it.

I have never suffered with acne but I know that so many of you do so I wanted to invite Isabella onto the podcast to share an honest version of living and growing up with acne.

A solo episode for you this week that is really raw and open about how I have been feeling about my body.

Body and weight is something that is on my mind a lot and something that I constantly have conversations about with friends and peers. As women, our body and weight are often things that we are defined by and therefore plays a massive role in how we feel about ourselves.

For me, my body and weight is something that has always affected me both physically and mentally and it's time to change. It's time to start accepting ourselves exactly as we are so I wanted to share a bit about how I have been feeling and my plan of attack to really try and overcome the body and weight issues that I have once in the hope that some of you who are listening resonate and feel empowered to accept yourself too.

We are beautiful and enough as we are. What society says shouldn't be something that makes us fall out of love with our bodies. They are the skin we are in and its time to make change.

What I Cover

Growing up with body and weight issues

Accepting Your Body

Self Comparison

Overcoming Body Issues

Binge Eating

Self Love & Overcoming Body Issues

Self Reflection
