What role does mental health play in the health industry? As a response to diet culture, in 2019 Fanny Beckman created the photo series "Women of My Generation". By portraying women who felt unrepresentated in mainstream media, wearing only underwear, she challenges the modern beauty standards. But, what started as a photo series has uncovered conversations which are just as important. Every week, Fanny invites a special guest to share their story. This podcast covers everything from fashion to mental health issues, activism to family relationships - and most of all: body image. Image Credit: Nils Levin
This week, Fanny Beckman speaks to Sarah Best about ableism, living with cerebral palsy and her work towards challenging prejudices around disabilities. We also talk about how Sarah has gained confidence thanks to her service dog, how her disability affects her body image and how she learnt to take up space and speak up when faced with ignorant comments. You can follow Sarah's important work on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edison_365_sd/

Simona Georgieva - Depression and Weight Loss
In this episode we listen to Simona Georgieva's story of struggling with her mental health and how it affected her physically. The society we live in thinks that women always strive to lose weight but in many cases it stems from medical conditions which people are unaware of. We'll also get to hear how growing up in Israel has affected her: her choice of education as a journalist, the trauma that the conflict caused her and the last couple of months' constant fear of losing family members and friends. Simona is an advocate for open conversations and helping other people get through difficult situations. Hear all her valuable insights and tips in this week's episode of Women of My Generation.

Charys Dewhurst - Dismantling Fatphobia
The first time I took photos of Charys for Women of My Generation was in February 2019. It was a pretty shy and insecure woman I had in front of me. Therefore, it was pure joy to revisit Charys and to see a confident and outspoken woman.
Today you'll hear Charys speak about her journey towards self acceptance. We also discuss online fatphobia, people's obsession of the word 'healthy' and reclaiming fat as a neutral description. To see the Instagram posts mentioned in the episode (and the size inclusive brands Charys loves) please visit her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/babyguerrilla/
