I'm not sure why my pic of @_playseries_ didn't come out on my last post but it gives me the excuse to share this little gem from her feed. Anyone who knows me knows my love of all things circus. I have to steel myself when I write this next sentence... Lauren... is an actual-bona fide-not-even-kidding... clown. It is not where I was expecting my day to go, but it sure made it. #clowningaround #circus #clown #mentalhealth #performanceart #publicspeaking #mentalhealthperformanceart and I'm sure me and @_lisa_hammond heard tell of a #clowngod #goodnight

I've been down in the capital today. What a fab day. My first meeting with @speakers.collective making loads of new friends. The Speakers Collective is a social enterprise bringing together speakers on a range of issues including mental health, suicide prevention, sexuality and gender. So many inspiring stories. So much knowledge in one room and what a fantastic opportunity to connect with others on the same path. I may have had an "Eeep there's @mollyjforbes from #nakedbeach" moment. But otherwise I held it together pretty well. We all bonded over our dogs. (I made a mental note never to bring mine to a meeting. I love her but that would not end well.) So here's to the next step on this crazy journey... where it goes nobody knows. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #connecting #londonlife

When your Body Image Expert doesn't want to share this image of herself... what then? Then you do the work. Which is so much easier today than it was years ago. Which is why now you're seeing the image here on her feed. "Alright enough third-person Em." "Fine." Image. A mini-moment. My problem with this image is it doesn't reflect my experience of last Sunday's Body Image for Parents talk. I know I smiled. I know I felt more confident than I look here. When that recoil happens, when I see an image that I want to reject is the way I am/was, I have to take myself away and have a chat. I'm a highly programmed human. I am tusseling here with YEARS of learning to care what people think. That how I look is THE important thing. That a valid body looks a certain way... That maybe I can't pull off geek glasses. That the image I have of myself maybe isn't the one you all get🤣 . . . And I review and replace. Did I do a good job? ✔ I did a good job Was I well prepared and know my stuff?✔ I knew my stuff. Is it ok that I wasn't perfect?✔ It sure is. Imperfection is real. Did I leave people changed? ✔ I did. They said so. Do I have a duty to share all of this? ✔ I do. All of it. It does take work. And you can't accept yourself and all your foibles just once. It's a lifelong devotion to the hardware that's getting us through life. I am devoted to mine and I'll pick my body's side each and every time I sense it being challenged by my out-dated ideals. #bodyideals #devotion #loyalty #bodyloyalty #bodyconfident #bodyconfidence #notjustabody #notjustmybody #bodydisatisfaction #geekglasses

Our bodies are our forever homes. How can we treat them with respect and compassion? How can we accept them exactly as they are in this current moment? 📷: @thepouf 🗣: @kristamurias Repost from @theantidietplan ... #accept #surrender #lifejourney #bodyforlife #bodyfornow #lifesride #sweetride #bodyconfidence #bodyconfident #bodydissatisfaction

So much mis-information around bodies, weight, food, fat, health - it boggles my mind. And the impact it has on our health and wellbeing is a real problem in modern times. Diversity is a human condition. When we train our kids that it isn't, we tell them they're not good enough. I have so much to share at tomorrow's FREE event at the Storyhouse. My talk - Parenting Body Image, starts at 2pm. If any of these subjects sparks an interest in you and you're ready for some real information to support a healthy life for you and your future generations, why not come along? https://www.storyhouse.com/event/body-image-parents #bodyimage #chester #chesterevents #educatingbodyimage #bodyimagespeaker

Poochie and Poppet #grateful for this #sundayafternoon taking time to #rest and make #applepie after #blackberrypicking. All made possible by #ourbodies.
