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! Thank you. What's upset you now?

So, I just want to jump straight in, to be honest, Paul.

Yeah.

I've got a feeling, right? It might be the podcast that is doing this to me,

particularly the Patreon, which is now I'm becoming high, it's like a spider sense.

I'm becoming hypersensitive to all of the things that we talk about that are pissing me off.

And it's happening in this world. And I'm going like, I've spoken about this or Paul spoken about this. I've heard one of our guests talk about this. I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm now, I can see. Definitely, more than it. Go on. Well, more than anyone I know, you have material that I do. And then like, you you used to have that bit about, like, doing your hair in the mirror of a, in the window of a car. Yeah. And then I've, like, done it and gone, like, I fucking have this reminds me of Sean's bit. So what you're saying is this is now not being therapeutic for you, the opposite, whatever the opposite of that is. I am just, I'm going to, I'm going to lose it. I really feel like I'm going to lose it at some point. Like when you see an old, like when you see an old man just one day, just go like, you know, like, all I want is a clean fork. James Corden. Yes. I feel like I'm going to James Corden it at some point. That was weird, wasn't it? Oh, you know what? I always feel sorry for the person that's being taken down by the whole world. That's always going to be, you know. Yes, no, no, no. I mean, I'm not commenting on, you know, what I don't know. I don't know. I know you're not. But, like, I just sort of, it was a weird sort of thing. And then the sort of guy whose restaurant it was, from what I could see, then came out and said that James had been in touch and had sort of, you know, it was all okay again. But I didn't take down the original tweet.

So it's like, well...

Of course not.

Because it had obviously got a lot of traction.

Yeah, exactly.
