This week on Blunt and the Beautiful, Kate and Tansy dive deep into swimsuit season - without the shame. Joined by Sophie Henderson-Smart, designer and founder of inclusive swimwear brand Saint Somebody, they unpack everything from body confidence and bathers trauma to the fatphobia still baked into fashion, sizing, and swimwear shelves.
In this candid and hilarious episode, you'll hear:
👙 Why shopping for bathers is an emotional minefield—and how to make it easier
🧠The fatphobia we’ve internalised (and how it’s rooted in colonialism)
đź’Ş Why being strong matters more than being a size 8
🌊 What happens when one swimsuit changes everything—for you, your self-worth, and your kids
You’ll also hear stories about:
– Public pool panic
– Boobs that arrive too early
– The perfect leopard print
– Geriatric James Bond
– And why every size deserves a dip
Whether you’re a size 8 or 28, this one is for anyone who’s ever avoided the beach, covered up out of shame, or just wants to feel good in their own damn skin. You deserve to swim.
