Spoiler Alert: She nearly died.
TW: This ep contains talk on operations, post-operative delirium and dealing with psychosis.
A side note from Maddie: Seeing one of the strongest women in my life absolutely floored by a life-altering series of events which all unfolded following a tiny, throw-away thought about boobs left me truly rethinking the severity of the perils of womanhood. Whether it's the never-ending chase of some unattainable standard or the constant narrative that we need to Be MORE. Be sexier. Be prettier. Be Skinnier. Despite how we look being quite literally the least interesting thing about us, women are making ill-informed, social-media dictated, LIFE THREATENING decisions just to feel like they're good enough. When in reality, for the sake of our friendships and our relationships all we really need to do is Be. Be Ourselves. Be Kind. Be alive. Thank God Molly is okay (she'll see this when the ep goes live) but how many women aren't? X

Whether you're a size 4 or a size 24 (who the F cares) the struggles of women's standardised sizing are felt by us all! Whilst places like Zara are converting 'mid sizes' into XXL, Primark is labelling them M (inevitably to flatter us into buying something) but despite their instability the socially-constructed labels on our clothes are intrinsic to the way we feel about ourselves and our bodies. Seems silly doesn't it?! so cut out the label, where what makes you FEEL your best and enjoy the poddy xx

Ep. 15 teaches us how to get the 'perfect' summer body in just 39 mins, including how not to fall victim to crash diets, how not to compare ourselves to the influencer vacay pics we're inundated with from May - Sept and how not to let one, particularly sunny, season of the year dictate how we feel about ourselves, our clothes and our bodies. If you're up for a good old moan & some very relatable feels scroll no further. <3 enjoy xx

Although centralised to the 'idea' of womanhood, boobs really aren't THAT big (or small) of a deal right? As Molly delightfully said, boobs are 'just a lump of fat with milk in' (LOL v scientific definition) so why why why are they still SO sexualised and why do we let them dictate what we wear, what we post and how we think of others. This ep we're sharing our breast stories (excuse the pun) from the first bra right of passage to comparing cup sizes with the 'perfect' pair we repeatedly see on instagram. ps: perfection is subjective and all boobs deserved to be shown off & checked regularly xxx

Join us this week discussing all things body enhancements! From filler to filters, the perfectionism of the online world we virtually live in and the demand for more and more cosmetic practitioners on our high-streets, means it has never been easier or more acceptable to change or enhance our bodies and faces. Lip filler - once a taboo subject is now a signature influencer-inspired look & it seems the 'fake' look is fashionable. The accessibility of body enhancements is sure to be putting unnecessary pressure on the next gen of girls, so when did the narrative change? has it changed at all or is the normalisation of filler unique to the world of rich white insta babez and 'Glow-up with me' Vlogs? listen to hear our take xxxx disclaimer: there was a few disagreements in the recording of this episode.

Hey BP listeners, we're back again this week discussing all things skin. From acne to stretch-marks and everything in between, we are all so aware of not just our bodies but the 'blemishes' they bare n we ALL know the struggles of lovin' the skin you're in. Particularly when what we do see online is usually glass-like, airbrushed, skin of perfection (UGHH) we found this week tough to talk through so we hope you can relate to some of our own personal struggles and enjoy our usual general annoyance at the world we live in too xxx

From crash diets to thinspiration pics, the road to finding a healthy lifestyle that works for you is perhaps the rockiest of them all! Join us this week unpicking our own ever-changing and sometimes difficult relationships with 'diets', exercise, unwarranted comments and their link to the scary subject of weight and consequentially body image. We hope some of our (in some ways v sad) experiences resonate and you take away the same message we did when recording: Health and HAPPINESS cannot exist within the walls of comparison and hate for our bodies. so love you for you, M & M X
