She's back! Alex Light returns to the podcast and she is, as it to be expected, an absolute joy to talk to and a very special guest indeed.Now, full disclosure, Alex and I are friends and we are similar in a lot of ways, not least the fact that we can get pretty deep, pretty quickly once we start chatting and that's what happened in this episode.We talk about Alex's biggest risk, of course, which was to pivot from a content creator who focussed on fashion and beauty into someone who spoke openly about her own experience with an eating disorder and body image issues to now being one of social media's most-followed accounts for sensible non-toxic messaging around food and our bodies.We spend a lot of time pondering whether it's any coincidence that two people who are both sensitive souls have had trouble with their sense of identity that has spilled over into how they feel about how they look and how they care for themselves.I loved this conversation with Alex because I truly feel we would have had exactly the same conversation over lunch. It's real, it's raw and it's honest.I hope you enjoy this episode. And if you do, please do give The Emma Guns Show a sweet little five-star rating where it is you get your podcasts. Hosted on Acast.

If you’re a long-time listener then you’ll know I love tapping into other people’s expertise, especially when it’s sp specific yet somehow incredibly applicable to everyday life. Case-in-point: hostage negotiator Scott Walker. We obviously enter this conversation via Scott’s insights on risk, which when you consider what he does for a living, is truly fascinating. I can’t even imagine what risks one has to consider when bartering with kidnappers but Scott actually thinks there’s more than one way to look at risk, which is a perspective I really appreciated.Scott’s book Order Out of Chaos is available now.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.

Perhaps social media is to blame but it's never been easier to find people who say they can help you with everything from body image issues, business woes, mental health and more. But I have to wonder how much help there really is behind shareable memes and pretty Instagram feeds - and I'd like to know what you think...To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.
