A podcast on body image isn’t complete without a conversation with Susie Orbach, the world-renowned psychotherapist, psychoanalyst and social critic. The author of dozens of books, including the international bestseller, Fat is a Feminist Issue, which has sold well over a million copies, Susie is the authority on body image. In this episode, listen to Holli and Susie chat about their work together for Endangered Bodies, how our relationship with food became warped, the history of diets, the wellness industry and the struggles for women today. Susie Orbach is a psychotherapist and writer. Orbach created the Women’s Therapy Centre in 1976 and the Women’s Therapy Centre Institute, a training institute in New York, in 1981. She has been a consultant for The World Bank and the NHS. Her ground-breaking first book, Fat is a Feminist Issue, published in 1978, remains one of the most widely read texts of the British women's liberation movement. She has reshaped psychoanalytic thinking by insisting on a gendered understanding of human development. She is also convenor of Endangered Bodies, which challenges contemporary culture that promotes negative body image.

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.

After a 15-year career in social work and adult education, Sharon Haywood decided she needed a break from the daily grind, not to mention the winters of Toronto. That break turned more permanent while she was travelling South America, and fell in love with Buenos Aires, Argentina.But Sharon, who had suffered an eating disorder earlier in her life, noticed some of those negative behaviours returning, and started, once again, to become uncomfortable with her body. This was the spark that ignited Sharon’s activist spirit. Now, as the founder of AnyBody Argentina, part of an international organization called, Endangered Bodies, Sharon focuses much of her work on the clothing size issue within Argentina.
