TLDR: Lucy's big blunder, the pressure of being a bride, and a playlist to bring your heart rate back down. 

Why are brides still up against toxic body-image ideals? Will diet culture ever leave the wedding industry alone? And how can we be less critical of ourselves?This week, Lucy and Kee explore the unspoken expectations when it comes to 'the big day'.

The Butterfly Foundation represents all people affected by eating disorders and negative body image issues, if you need support - please call them on Helpline 1800 ED HOPE.
