Welcome to part 1 of the SCC mini series on body confidence - discussing all elements of body confidence and how to cultivate it. Lauren and Nicole will be delving into their own body image and going through practices to bring you insights and honesty in what helps break them away from the societal messaging that we need to look a certain way in order to feel worthy. We hope you get a lot from it and we hope to do justice to this important topic. The ladies try out Nude Mirror Gazing with mixed results... This week the special guest expert is Carys Whittaker making her first ever podcast appearance. Carys is a mum of two living in Cardiff. For the past 7 years she has worked on social media and on her ongoing business projects alongside her husband James. Carys has become a key name on social media for her popular daily lifestyle content, gaining over 1 million followers across her channels. Starting out as a fitness influencer, she realised the lifestyle she was leading was having a negative impact on her mental health, and her content has followed her journey through weight gain and body changes. Consequently she is now one of the leading figures promoting body positivity online. She also shares content around family life, fashion, self-love, house renovations and much more; but most importantly to her, she shares her ongoing journey with self love, self care and body confidence. @carys.whittaker If you like what we do here and want to be part of the club, come follow us and be part of our growing private Facebook group Self Care Clubbers.
