Episode Summary
On today’s episode with Angela Ukomadu, we talk about her experience working with Zinnyslifestyle and her previous experience at a gym where she was spending 3 hours daily and of course gaining more weight. We also touch a topic very dear to my heart; body shaming and how we use social media as a tool to pull other women down. The truth is what we say about other women's bodies is a reflection of how we feel about our own bodies and you never know what a woman is going through and how we are adding heaps of coal to the ongoing situation.

Our favourite highlights
- You don’t need to spend 3 hours at the gym to be healthy or lose weight, doing so can very quickly culminate in frustration.
- Addiction, substance abuse and suicide attempts in adults has been linked to body shaming in both boys and girls during adolescence.
- When body shaming persists getting dressed for many people can become such a chore that if it deteriorate can lead to panic attacks and other forms of anxiety disorders.
- Celebrities and the people you see on social media are not just images, there are real people with feelings behind that account, we need to stop attacking each others’ bodies.
