  • Natalie Lee’s blog (Style Me Sunday) and Instagram profile read like a journal. She shares her daily thoughts, her looks, and her concerns, all with honesty, self-reflection, and humour.

    Natalie is an inspiring and uplifting reminder that the way we speak to ourselves affects how we feel. In this episode, she shares how she reframed how she thought about her post-birth body and how she uses social media as a powerful source of inspiration by curating her feed.

    Natalie is a wonderful example of how empowering motherhood can be. By trying to be a good role model and teaching her children to love themselves and to listen to their feelings, she has learned to appreciate herself and to remind herself of everything she achieves on a daily basis, however big or small.

  • Andy Torres (from the blog Style Scrapbook) has spent the past 10+ years building a successful career in fashion by using the power of the internet. She was one of the first successful bloggers and now has a large and steady Instagram following.

    Andy has managed to remain successful in an ever-evolving industry thanks to a multitude of qualities including resilience and authenticity, but the ones that stand out most in this episode are her ability to think positively, listen to her body and stay true to her values.

    A few years ago, Andy had what felt like asthma on a business trip – it turned out to be anxiety. Andy was shocked, but instead of pushing it aside as an inconvenience, she used it as an opportunity to stop and consider which parts of her job fit into her long-term goals. This ability to work and act mindfully, combined with visualisations and daily affirmations, helps Andy to resist FOMO and to stay true to what she really wants from life.

  • Katherine Ormerod is a powerful advocate for authenticity on social media. Her book “Why Social Media is Ruining Your Life” has made a huge contribution to the anti-perfectionism movement that is spreading across social media.

    Katherine tells us how her relationship with social media has evolved over the years, and how she has surrounded herself with people with whom she can be herself.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that we can choose what kinds of people we surround ourselves with (both on and offline) and that sharing our whole selves on social media can be incredibly liberating and empowering.

  • In this funny and honest insight into her life, Lindsey Holland (from the blog Ropes of Holland) shares her journey from leaving a full-time job in the NHS to set herself up as a freelancer.

    Lindsey tells us how she has dealt with worries throughout her career and how she re-sets when she feels like self-doubt is getting in the way. She also tells us how she manages to maintain work-life balance in a job designed to blur the lines.

    This episode is not only an uplifting reminder that, regardless of what our Instagram grids look like, we all worry in some way or other. It’s also a powerful demonstration of how we can use our passions to ground us and step away from the cyber world when we feel like we need a break.

  • Tune in Feb 14th

    Social media can be an incredible way to connect with people like us and to share important messages. However, it can also make us feel deeply inadequate and like we’re missing out.

    Many of us follow Instagram influencers for a daily dose of inspiration, but inspiration can sometimes turn into comparison. Next thing we know, we are left wondering why we’re lying on the couch while the rest of Instagram seems glammed up for some event we’re not invited to. Throughout the five episodes in this season, we will speak to some wonderful women who have built successful careers on Instagram.

    They will share their journeys behind the Instagram grid, tell us what they do to look after their mental health and how they have dealt with all kinds of things including worrying, FOMO, loneliness, body image, and impostor syndrome. Listen as we hear what life is like behind the Instagram grid and get great tips on how to deal with many aspects of our mental health.
