Can I look good and feel good?
Listen now
Description
Model and activist Charli Howard sets out to on her mission to right the wrongs of the fashion industry by asking if it’s possible to look good and feel good. Charli always dreamed of being a model but she reveals how, to make her dreams a reality, she was pushed into being thin rather than being healthy. One day a pair of leather trousers, a phone call and a social media post changed everything. She talks to another model, Sonny Turner, who never wanted to be thin. Sonny wanted to be curvy. Really curvy. The two models take time out for a trip to the spa to chill out and chat curves, Kardashians and cat-fishing.
