About this episode


Shockingly, ‘Am I ugly' is googled 10,000 times a month. Michelle Elman is a five-board accredited Body Confidence Coach and an award-winning body positive activist. Her  TEDX talk moved me to tears.


She is most known for her campaign Scarred Not Scared and the active presence within the body positive community with over 190k followers across her two Instagram accounts. Her book, ‘Am I ugly?', is out now.


In this incredibly inspiring conversation, we discuss:


-What is body positivity?

-The message Michelle has for you if you think you're ‘ugly'

-Why it could be healthy to contemplate your own death

-Specific techniques for people to do to feel happier in their body
