About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Alex Light about body positivity, beauty standards, and the impact of social media.

Happy Wednesday EICreations! In today's episode we sit down with bestselling author and former host of the brilliant Should I Delete That Alex Light to discuss everything from weight loss jabs to bikini bodies. She also offers invaluable advice on how to limit the impact of social media on kids, raise body positive sons and get through to older generations about their toxic relationship to food and thinness. Alex's new non-fiction book The Price of Pretty is out now, and deftly examines the unbearable and unattainable beauty standards that women are subjected to while also exploring the relationship between a waning body positive movement and the rise of Ozempic and AI. Other topics include motherhood and body image, eating disorder recovery, tweakments, filters and social media. We loved chatting to Alex and you can follow her on Instagram here !
