Welcome to Tough Love - the podcast that’s on a mission to empower and educate women through radical conversations about body image. Hosted by psychotherapist Holli Rubin, each of the eight episodes will tackle a different pillar of body image alongside industry voices, from disability to diet culture and so much more. Breaking down taboos and challenging society’s norms, this podcast brings you open, honest conversation around body image and self esteem.
Holli is a psychotherapist, body image specialist and mental health practitioner based in London. With more than 25 years of experience, Holli speaks about body image at a national level alongside Endangered Bodies, an international NGO, and runs her own body image clinic.
An accident as a toddler left Holli with a scar, which may be hardly visible today but its emotional impact has stayed with her and acted as the catalyst for her career. Growing up and throughout her studies, Holli realised that body image is influenced by so many factors.
Forget the numbers on the scale – often the real weight we carry is psychological and something that will never show up in the mirror.
