Summary

This week the girls chat to Betty Kubovy-Weiss. When Betty was 7, she was diagnosed with childhood obesity and her doctor told her mother that she would need to lose weight for the good of her health. She was put on a diet, and then, her mother wrote about that experience in Vogue. Now, at 18, she shares with Alex and Em how this has affected her self confidence and body image. We are excited to hear your thoughts on this conversation! DM and email us to share.

Em has a lot of awkwards to share, and Al suddenly realises that a lot of people actually listen to the pod: that’s you people!
