Summary

This week, Hannah sits down with body positivity and fashion vlogger Sierra Schultzzie who married Stephen when she was just 21 years old. Together they discuss what it's like to marry your childhood sweetheart, avoiding becoming a divorce statistic, battling assumptions about teen relationships and her progressive Christian faith. They also talk about fears that the institution of marriage might muzzle powerful women, the (long) journey to body acceptance, fighting retouching apps and rethinking toxic value systems. Finally, Hannah and Sierra explore how we can be ethical and sustainable consumers whilst staying sane, and ask whether it's actually possible to avoid interacting with problematic brands: "I do think we've been putting too much emphasis on what individuals can do!"
