Louise McSharry is a podcaster, broadcaster and writer. She is the host of the incredibly popular Catch Up With Louise McSharry podcast and the author of Fat Chance: My Life in Ups, Downs and Crisp Sandwiches. Louise has been an outspoken advocate for the body liberation movement for several years and is an inspiration to so many of us. When Louise speaks about this topic, she speaks about it through the lens of personal experience and her words have often brought me to tears. This interview is no different and is nothing short of inspiring.

 

We speak about:

 

• Why Louise began to speak about food and body image publicly

• The issue with the implicit messages of 'thinness at any cost'

• The importance of calling out and questioning diet culture and our societal biases

• Positive body image and how to approach it

• How Louise began to rebuild her relationship with food and her body 

• How to start changing your mindset and perspective

• Counteracting negative messages and setting boundaries
