Laura Adlington on Body Confidence

This week on Good Influence we're talking about body confidence and fatphobia; confidence vs neutrality, the impact of the media that we grow up with and the importance of seeing ourselves reflected on screen. Laura Adlington is a podcaster hosting Self-love podcast, Go Love Yourself alongside cohost and friend Lauren Smith. Laura reached the finals of the Great British Bake Off in 2020 and ever since has used her platform to discuss plus size, representation, discrimination, fashion and body image.
