In this episode I'm chatting to the lovely Lydia Reeves, a female body casting artist from Brighton.

I got my chest cast after my mastectomy in her studio and had the most magical time! I've had my ups and downs with my body image after cancer and I know a lof you listening will feel the same. Whether you've had a visible change, gained wight on steroids, or simply just don't trust your body anymore. You're not alone.

Lydia advocates for self acceptance in everything she does so I just had to get her on the podcast. We chat how growing up in the 90's warped our view of what women should look like (anyone remember the circle of shame?), her own journey of self acceptance, and how she empowers women to accept themselves through her art.

I got to go down to Brighton to record in her studio so apologies if you hear seagulls but I personally love the sound. Anyway I hope you enjoy!
