Thanks @aspiring_to_live_my_best_life for this. I'm coming for you #helsby and #frodsham with my #bodynights season of events... but beware! It might feel like change! Like looking at your body in a TOTALLY new light 😁... Could result in better health and all-round wellbeing #localevent #helsbyevent #cheshireevent #chesterevent #bodyimage #infotainment #enlightenmentonyourdoorstep

When we did our @marksandspencerpr @breastcancernow campaign back in 2017 we were repeatedly accused of being models. "Why can't they use real cancer survivors?" There is a current maelstrom in our community about the #bosombuddies campaign. You know everyone makes mistakes. Everyone should be allowed to. I don't want to live in a world where they aren't. It spells idealist perfectionism that is undermining the wellbeing of the modern world. But just in case anyone does want to look at the incredible job this brand is doing to support those of us affected, not just base opinion on one act, they'll see M&S boldly put my mastectomied breast into 2017's campaign. Did anyone notice? No one. Did anyone champion M&S for keeping it so real. No. But there are plenty ready to criticise now. The 2017 campaign was full of diversity and we were heavily consulted. Don't be down if you only have one breast. Or no breasts. Or three breasts! Be glad you're alive. And learn to love your magical body so hard that a slightly off target campaign doesn't bring you down. #loveyou #beyou #bodylove #cancergrad #postcancer #breastcancer #survivor #reconstruction #cancerwarrior #cancerchampion #surgerysavvy #cancer #yougotthis #thriver #recovery #mastectomy #uplift #healmyself #dontbeafraid #feelbetter #feelgood #amwriting #mumblogger #sexyaftercancer

Sorry I only got to view/post about this today. It's with a lump in my throat and 😭😭😭 that I'm watching @_natashadevon's #nakedbeach. The premise to this show is that spending time around naked people of all shapes and sizes will improve your own body confidence. It's so heart-warmimg to watch! I realise that inadvertently I've been doing the same with my IG feed. I've spent years almost daily in the company of some of the most amazing positive people in this sphere and that is what has helped me make peace with my damaged body. People think it isn't possible. People think we can't let go of the code of 'must hate myself' and we can. All we need to do us give ourselves permission. Amen to that! Look at these two beauties! Thank you guys @mollyjforbes @ch32 @benrwhit @theonearmedwonder @_natashadevon And if you're not watching Naked Beach do yourself a favour! . . #Repost from @mollyjforbes with @regram.app ... On my way to London. Still processing it all and reading the hundreds and hundreds of messages coming in on my phone. WOW. What a show. So proud to be part of this amazing series and feeling very emotional reading all the messages coming in to say how episode one has made people feel. LOVE, always. For ourselves and each other. ♥️ (this is my little soul sis @ch32 and paint in this pic is by the incredibly talented and lovely human @emmacammack and Char’s is by @nicoles_bodyart 😍 hair by @bellusfemina & makeup by @nadjascalzi 💕💕) #chmolly #nakedbeach #loveyourselffirst #bodylove

Had a great opportunity last night to see the @mortalfoolsuk production of #iweigh inspired by @jameelajamilofficial's campaign to see ourselves as so much more than just the numbers on our scales... what I loved: The piece's honest, real and brave portrayal of a subject that never gets air, certainly onstage. People especially young adults not feeling good enough, feeling constant pressure, feeling overwhelmed, trying to fit in, pretending to be someone and losing who they actually are. God those years are tough! Also the cast was more male. The boys have historically been overlooked in this conversation and these boys (and girls) did just such an accurate portrayal of teenage angst. All the material was self-created btw. What I learnt: We're often still equipping our kids with disparate emotional skills. Girls with compassion and ways to draw out an emotional discourse and boys with emotional deflection. And that when that emotion is repressed it can lead to rudeness, sarcasm and aggression. Huh! Go figure. What I didn't like: Low audience numbers. This is such an important subject. A really affordable, accessible form of infotainment that is an aid to our self-development - for both adults and kids - and is the seed of change. We need more of this and bigger audiences and then we need to go support them. It was a really great way to show teens that what they're feeling, everyone feels and it's ok. Their tour is finished now but you can still catch them in their's and my home town of #newcastleupontyne. I really hope they tour again. #mentalhealth #bodyimage #youththeatre #bodyimageeducation #bodyimageevent
