  • S3, Ep 6 - Emma Pullin
    Dec 10 2021

    And here we are, the last in the season and out last for a while, I'm sad to say. It's time I focussed on that book I keep talking about, as well as one or two other projects. I'll be back, probably here and there, rather than a full season. And maybe later in 2022, I'll bring season 4. let's see how things unfold. In the meantime, today, we have Emma Pullin a body confidence photographer. 

    We talk about the conflict of feeling sexy, the idea we don’t need a reason to like our bodies, and... the objectification of rabbits! We also talked about the challenges of being a naturally thin woman, and how few safe spaces Emma feels she has to be able to discuss her own challenges with body image. You can find Emma at @emmalita.x on Instagram.
