Kate Halfpenny & Alex Light | Loving the Skin You're In

I was absolutely thrilled to have the wonderful Alex Light join me on Instagram Live yesterday to discuss body confidence. Alex is a Fashion and beauty writer and host of her own podcast, The Light Show which I was lucky enough to be invited on to earlier this year (click here to listen) and we’ve kept in touch ever since.  Having overcome an eating disorder, Alex is now a passionate body confidence activist and a huge advocate to love the skin you’re in.  Alex also recently got engaged - congratulations Alex! - so I thought it was good timing to have a conversation around the pressure some women feel when shopping for a wedding gown and the underlying reasons for this.

We also touch on our opinion on “shedding for the wedding”, dealing with the hurtful opinions of others, diet culture and why it’s sometimes so difficult for women to love their bodies. As always, Alex speaks with empathy and an understanding which comes from her own experiences in changing her relationship with her body. This is a subject very close to my heart so I hope it resonates with you too.

Love,

Kate & the Halfpennys xxx
