Star of the Great British Bake Off Laura Adlington is launching Go Love Yourself. The new podcast has Adlington and her friend Lauren Smith address body image, confidence, and all things self-love.
Topics for each episode include everything from diet culture to dating, mental health to social media, and reality TV to toxic masculinity - all whilst keeping self-acceptance at the fore. Each episode will feature a different special guest, including comedian Sofie Hagan, who shares her own personal struggles and wins with body image.
Go Love Yourself is the latest podcast from Crowd Network, an audio-on-demand network based in Manchester. It is the first in a slate of new shows set to launch in 2022, including a second series of its podcast dot com series.
Laura Adlington said, “When I was thrust into the public eye, although I received a lot of support, I also experienced a lot of awful comments about how I look. I always believed that the least interesting thing about people is how they look, so these comments - from strangers - really rocked me. What helped was finding a community that showed me that body confidence is something everyone has a right to, and that’s what I hope Go Love Yourself will create. We want to help people challenge the body rules they grew up with, and live their best life in the skin they’re in.”
Mike Carr, CEO of Crowd Network, said: “Connecting people is at the heart of everything that Crowd Network does, so we’re really excited to be working on a podcast which really lives by that. Laura and Lauren are a brilliant duo and are both so funny and relatable. It makes the show a real joy to listen to, whether they’re joking around or tackling some really serious topics.”
Go Love Yourself will be available Tuesday.
