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.

EPISODE 1: ALICE DUNBAR

Alice Dunbar has a unique insight in two opposite worlds and ideals: promoting a toxic diet culture in 2015, and writing about body confidence in 2019.

In this episode you will hear her talk about the shame she feels about her past, how she managed to quit dieting and her best advice on how to tackle the obsession of the "perfect body" in the new year.
