Alex Light | Reinventing herself, navigating the world as a sensitive soul and unlearning toxic diet culture.

She's back! Alex Light returns to the podcast and she is, as it to be expected, an absolute joy to talk to and a very special guest indeed.

Now, full disclosure, Alex and I are friends and we are similar in a lot of ways, not least the fact that we can get pretty deep, pretty quickly once we start chatting and that's what happened in this episode.

We talk about Alex's biggest risk, of course, which was to pivot from a content creator who focussed on fashion and beauty into someone who spoke openly about her own experience with an eating disorder and body image issues to now being one of social media's most-followed accounts for sensible non-toxic messaging around food and our bodies.

We spend a lot of time pondering whether it's any coincidence that two people who are both sensitive souls have had trouble with their sense of identity that has spilled over into how they feel about how they look and how they care for themselves.

I loved this conversation with Alex because I truly feel we would have had exactly the same conversation over lunch. It's real, it's raw and it's honest.

I hope you enjoy this episode. And if you do, please do give The Emma Guns Show a sweet little five-star rating where it is you get your podcasts.
