Lucinda Price, AKA Froomes, is one of Australia’s most riveting creatives. A writer, presenter, comedian and self-confessed reformed podcaster, Lucinda is smart and hilarious. 

This month, Lucinda added author to her list of achievements with the publishing of her debut book, All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot. 

An interrogation into self image, desirability, pop-culture and power, Lucinda’s book weaves in her own experience with eating disorders and body image alongside clever analysis of Western beauty standards. 

In this ep, we dive into the image-obsessed media industry, chat about the epidemic of plastic surgery and Ozempic, and discuss just how far the Australian health industry has to go when it comes to recognising disordered eating. 

You can buy All I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot from all good bookstores and follow Lucinda @frooomes.

This episode contains mentions of disordered eating. If you or a loved one are struggling with your mental health, reach out to the Butterfly Foundation or Beyond Blue.
