We've grown up surrounded by beauty ideals that promised confidence, but often delivered shame.

In a special episode of a millennial mind, I sat down with Nicola Adams to explore how appearance-based

compliments and body talk shape our self-worth without us realising it. In partnership with the

Dove Self-Esteen project, we unpack the tools to change the conversation for

ourselves and for future generations. Listen now and download the free body confidence journal

Why do your socials look so good? Mine are basic.

I use Adobe Express. Free templates and AI features make stories,

reels and posts so easy. That's exactly what my feed needs. Adobe Express, the quick and easy

create-anything app, free. Tell me about some of the extraordinary women in the lineage of your family,

the ones that you aspire to and look up to.

I suppose the one that absolutely intrigues me was Agnes.

We've got the most lovely portrait in the dining room by Rayburn.

It's absolutely charming. And she was a daughter of the governor of New York, Andrew Elliot.

And her uncle said that if she married for love, he'd give her £5,000, which I think back in 1780 would have been quite a significant sum.

She came to Kinnaird. She had 10 daughters before she had her

first son, which wasn't bad thinking about really. But she was very artistic and she built a lot of

the follies around the place. Some beautiful stick and fur cone houses that were built with her daughters.

All of them decorated them.

And there's some lovely paintings by her.

Yeah, she was fantastic and she outlived her husband by 56 years.

Goodness me.
