Go Love Yourself

Crowd Network

Welcome to Go Love Yourself! It’s the show where we’re all learning to love ourselves a little more 💖 Laura Adlington (left, 2020 GBBO Finalist) and her best friend Lauren Smith (right) grew up in the 90s and 00s when low rise jeans were high fashion, Bridget Jones was the poster fat girl and diet culture was rife. Now, we’re unlearning everything we’ve been taught about body image, acceptance and confidence, and this podcast takes you along for the ride! From self-love, to the other kind of self love (wink wink nudge nudge) we’re here to help you feel happier, more confident, and part of the best community on the internet. Join us EVERY TUESDAY as we talk about everything from diet culture to dating, mental health to social media, fashion and giving zero f***s about what people think..

Our Editor's Take

Go Love Yourself is a podcast that promotes body positivity, health, and self-love. The hosts are Laura Adlington and best friend Lauren Smith. The show is a sincere and honest conversation. They discuss their life experiences as two British Millennial women.

Podcast host Laura was a finalist on the Great British Bake Off show in 2020. She shares her journey on the show and how it affected her life during and after the competition. Laura also talks about the pressure of being on a national television show. She shares some of her anxieties and discusses how it affected her mental health.

Lauren has worked in communications for most of her career. She's currently an internal communications manager for an NHS trust. She joined Laura on the podcast in early 2022, when the two decided to launch Go Love Yourself.

The podcast's central theme deals with being happy and comfortable with one's body. As two plus size women, Laura and Lauren are unlearning what they know about body image. Together with their listeners, they embrace inclusiveness and acceptance, redefining confidence.

The hosts discuss their own struggles with body image and self-love. They talk about how they have learned to love themselves. They also share tips and advice on improving self-esteem and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Go Love Yourself doesn't focus only on body image. Laura and Lauren also discuss everything from dieting to dating to mental health. They examine social media and how to not give a damn about what anyone else thinks.

Listeners can expect to hear candid conversations. The hosts are relatable and humble, making it easy for audiences to connect with them.

Go Love Yourself is a podcast that encourages listeners to embrace their true selves and love who they are. It's a refreshing and inspiring show that promotes acceptance and self-care.

GUYS. It’s only bloody Katie Price!!! For the last 30 years, she’s been part of our lives.

We also chatted about 00s nights out, the original spicy book, THAT horse outfit, and Lauren made a new history friend….

S4 Ep11: Being Child-Free
Lovely listeners, this might be our most emotional episode yet. We've recently been speaking a bit more on the podcast about our experiences with being child-free, so you might already know that, for numerous reasons, neither of us have kids, despite wanting them. And from the amount of messages we get, we've realised how common this experience is, despite how isolating it can feel. So in this episode, we're getting real about our experiences, and where we're currently at with this. We're also chatting to the incredible Jody Day, aka the BEYONCE of Childlessness, about her advice on grief and what a childless future can look like.  p.s. as you'll hear in our chat, we're aware that child-less and child-free are meant to have different definitions. We're currently more comfortable using the term 'child-free' for ourselves, so that's what we're using in the episode title. It's absolutely not to take away from anyone who's child-free by choice, it's just where we're currently at in our "journey" xx   Resources: Gateway Women: https://gateway-women.com  World Childless Week: https://worldchildlessweek.net Jody's Book: https://gateway-women.com/book/  Show Notes Get your live show tickets here!
