  • The Life of You – Ruth Corden on Trash TV, Tough Workouts and Two Awesome Siblings
    Mar 27 2026

    Ruth Corden is back and after our main conversation about bodies, food and self-worth, it felt only right to ask Ruth about the three things she leans on to stay vaguely sane in this ridiculous world. We get into the TV show she’s obsessively loyal to, the thing that leaves her with DOMS but also a much clearer head, and the lifelong relationships that hold her together when everything else feels wobbly. If you’ve ever wondered what really keeps someone going behind the big conversations, this one is for you.

  • Food Noise is a Horrendous Thing to Live With: Ruth Corden on Fatphobia and Weight Loss Jabs
    Mar 23 2026

    Regular listeners will know this is not a podcast where we glamorise weight loss stories or before-and-after pictures. As someone with a long history of eating disorders, I’ve spent years rejecting the idea that our worth lives and dies on the bathroom scales. But in this episode, I sit down with Ruth Corden to talk about what it means when healing your relationship with your body does involve losing weight – and how to do that without feeding fatphobic bullsh*t. Ruth talks honestly about living in a fat body, food addiction, “food noise”, and starting semaglutide – not as a vanity project, but as a lifeline for her health and sanity. We get into thin privilege, weaponised body positivity, fertility grief, shame in the GP’s office, and how lifting heavy weights helped her finally feel at home in her skin. It’s not a weight loss story. It’s a story about finally inhabiting the body you live in.

  • The Life of You – Ashley James on Girlfriends, Good Books and Late-Night Jigsaws
    Mar 20 2026

    Ashley James is back with me, after our main episode on body image and shame, and we get into the three things that keep her genuinely grounded when her kids are up at 5am, her social battery is dead, and the wellness industry is telling her to “just get up an hour earlier.” We talk about why female friendships feel like soulmates rather than side characters, the joy of getting completely lost in a really good book, and how certain quietly obsessive hobbies can switch off the noise in your head in a way Instagram never will.


    BOOKS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE

    Ashley’s new book, Bimbo, is available to buy now.
