TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains themes of eating disorders and mental health.
In this episode I'm joined by Victoria Shakeshaft, better known as @bad.bitch.money on Instagram. We have a juicy chat about all things diet culture, beauty standards, and the ways pressures on the way women look costs us financial confidence, PLUS touch on the role of a financial counsellor, as that's Victoria's job!
Highlights:
- how money is deeply tied to our self worth
- the lasting impacts of diet culture on our finances
- the dissonance between being anti-beauty standards and still participating in the beauty industry
- the spending loops we're unconsciously kept in at the hands of billion dollar industries
- the dangers of being sold a series of 'problem solvers'
