Red Sofa Conversations Ep 4 - Lara Rathod speaks to Lynsey Rowe on Body Positivity

In Episode 4 of Lara Rathod's interview series filmed on her red sofa, Lara and Lynsey discuss their relationships with their bodies and the journey they have been through to body acceptance. This episode was inspired by Jameela Jamil's 'i_weigh' movement and the premise that we are more than our bodies and we need to celebrate who we are and our character over any type of aesthetic. Lara and Lynsey share the first time they became aware of negative associations with their bodies, their individual realization that our body shape is individual to us which makes comparison futile and the disconnect we can have between our body perception and reality. They also talk about the pressures and unrealistic standards created by social media which affect the relationship that all of us (and especially young people) have with our bodies and the judgment we can inflict on ourselves and others. Lara shares the simple practice that helped her develop a deep appreciation for her body regardless of weight. Lara and Lynsey also talk about the mindset needed to make changes in a healthy way, namely from a place of kindness and self-acceptance. As well as Jameela Jamil, they acknowledge other ambassadors of the body positivity movement - Kate Winslet, Ashley Graham and Louise Redknapp.
