Ep054 [Spring(back) Series]: Love don't loathe your body, with body confidence coach Astrid Longhurst

Has the pandemic pushed you to love or loathe your body more? With many of us hitting the biscuit tin to comfort ourselves (surely not just me?!), many of us have fallen out of love with our bodies. But don't worry! Former GMTV fitness presenter & body confidence coach Astrid is on hand with LOADS of practical advice.  Having struggled with body confidence and eating disorders from a young age, Astrid knows what it takes to overcome the all-too-common feeling of being unhappy with how we look. She is living proof that you can go from this, to 'romancing your body' everyday (the title of her book). Even though we didn't meet in person (more's the pity), I could feel her happy vibes and love-life glow over the Zoom waves.

Om Podcasten

Big Juicy Creative is the show which nurtures your busy creative soul, so you thrive personally and professionally. You could be in a ‘creative’ career, like marketing or the arts, or maybe you wish you did something more creative. This podcast will show you how, if you approach your life with creativity – a bit more openness, curiosity, self-expression, imagination - it will become bigger, juicier and more meaningful. Creativity is about way more than painting or poetry, and this show brings you inspirational tales from beyond the creative department, from farming to fractions. Your host, Suzy Bashford, is a freelance journalist, who writes about creativity among other things, a workshop facilitator and a speaker. As well as interviews, she’ll bring you shorter, solo podcasts where she sums up and test-drives the advice she’s given, reporting back to you with her trademark honesty. Suzy is a mum on a mission to unleash our collective creativity so we can solve the world’s big problems… and we need buckets of creativity for that, so please get listening!
