Very Loose Women discuss the world of "envy" with two Rachels: Rachel Mars and Rachel Weston. Rachel Mars is a writer and performer who is bringing her performance Our Carnal Hearts to the Southbank Centre's Chorus festival this July and to the Edinburgh festival in July. "Our Carnal Hearts is a celebration of envy, a joyous call for everyone we’ve ever wanted to be and everything we’ve ever wanted to own. A place to whoop at our own fragility and delight against our better nature. A toast to our competitive spirits and a rumbling dance for the ugly gutter-tramping parts of our souls. A show that seeks to prove that envy makes us better. That politicians are right: that its spirit runs through our hearts, lymph systems and bowels and it’s glorious and we wouldn't want it any other way." Rachel Weston is a singer and singing teacher performing in Our Carnal Hearts, as well as running radical Yiddish song workshops.Follow us on Twitter @VLWRadio, Instagram VLWRadio and on Facebook.com/VeryLooseWomen.

Tutor and dancer Omari Eccleston-Brown joins the Very Loose Women to share his personal story of living with Body Dysmorphic Disorder, which he describes as a traumatising belief that you're abnormal and repulsive to others. BDD is estimated to affect 1 in 50 people. Although it has one of the highest suicide rates of any mental illness, it's still little understood. But Omari is raising awareness with a 365 day photo archive of his recovery. He's being open about his fears and inviting someone new - from friends and family to unsuspecting strangers - to snap his picture every day. Passionate about how dance and education can shape our relationships with our bodies, Omari is on a mission to help young people grow up with a positive body image.
