Today we are chatting with a very special guest, Sam Ikin. Sam is a body positivity advocate, journalist, the head of Ikin Media, as well as the host of the butterfly foundations podcast “Butterfly: Let’s Talk”. We believe all bodies are good bodies, regardless of their size, shape, or appearance. But we also know that it's not always easy to embrace our bodies, especially in a society that constantly tells us that we're not good enough… So today we are talking about body image, mental health and talking about radical acceptance. Things discussed in this episode: -What is radical self-acceptance? -Unpacking our own personal experiences with body image. -Comparison on Social media -Eating disorders (Trigger warning). We recognise this episode may not be for everyone as it touches on some triggering topics. You can reach out to beyond blue or the Butterfly Foundation on their 24/7 hotlines.

This week the chicks chat to dynamic duo Baby Dave, aka Theo and Joe. Baby Dave have performed at Tasmanian music festivals including Falls Festival and Great Escape… and now they’re on our podcast! You probably wouldn’t expect two blokes to make such a big sound but these guys are absolute rockstars. We speak with the guys about song writing, the thrill of performing, how they got into music, and also get into some light hearted chats. We know the biggest question on everyone’s minds is “Why did they choose the name Baby Dave?” And don’t you worry, we find that out too!

Welcome back to season 2 of Two Tassie Chicks. Our first episode back features the incredible Alana Mann. Alana discusses the important topic of food security, sustainability and how it is affecting us and the climate we live in. If you think this doesn’t concern you we promise it does. We are surrounded by food and diet choices every day; from the supermarket to the social media content we consume, this chat really made us see how there is so much more to think about when it comes to choosing what foods to eat and how not everyone is afforded the luxury of choice. We hope you get as much out of this episode as we did. Follow us on Instagram & Facebook @twotassiechicks Hosts: Bronny Lisson & Grier Brindley Music by Harry Yates

When did we start prioritising our physical aesthetic over our mental health? Well, that might be because we are living in the throes of diet culture. So, what is it and how have we become so conditioned into thinking so much of this behaviour is normal? This week the girls unpack the all-consuming topic of dieting, touching on their experiences of buying into the trends and becoming addicted to a restricted lifestyle to fit into an “aesthetic”. Throughout the episode the chicks provide you with some tips to help you enjoy your life beyond diets and diet culture.
