Welcome to Mission Confidence, a special edition of the Going For Goal podcast sponsored by Philips that’s designed to help you on your body confidence journey. This podcast has been created as part of our Project Body Love initiative, which is all about challenging the way we think, feel and speak about our bodies; embracing what makes us unique and putting an end to negative self-talk and embarrassment.

If you do choose to remove your body hair, whether you prefer to take it all off or to tackle your legs, armpits or bikini line only, Philips has a range of hair removal tools to suit your needs. And on Mission Confidence, over four episodes and with the help of some very wise women, we’re going to be exploring confidence in its various facets and forms – with the goal of helping you tap into yours.Today we’re discussing the self-esteem-bolstering power of expressing yourself through fashion with Sonny Turner, a 22-year-old Birmingham-born model and body positivity advocate. Whether she’s stepping down the runway at NY fashion week or posing up a storm on her IG grid, you’ll know her as bold, confident and committed to sharing the message that women of all shapes and sizes should feel empowered to experiment with fashion and wear what they want, when they want. Here, Sonny reveals the body image wobbles she’s experienced over the course of the pandemic and how pulling together new outfits, and leaning into workouts, has helped her get excited about the unlocked summer ahead. She also shares how experimenting with the Philips Lumea at home IPL device is helping her get the smooth armpits she prefers – without irritation.Join Sonny Turner on Instagram: @sonnyturner__ https://www.instagram.com/sonnyturner___/?hl=enJoin Roisín on Instagram: @roisin.dervishokane https://www.instagram.com/roisin.dervishokane/To find out more visit philips.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Why All Women Need To Strength Train + How To Get Results

If your workouts are centred around achieving maximum calorie burn - or you’re mega into running but don’t do much to strengthen your hard-working muscles between clocking up those 5ks - it’s time for a rethink. Because all women need to be strength training - according to two of the most esteemed trainers in the business. They are Joslyn Thompson Rule, Nike Master Trainer, women’s strength specialist, author of How To Move It and host of the Fitness Unfiltered podcast, and Andy Vincent, a PT with 20+ years experience in the fitness industry who has extensively studied strength and conditioning, sports performance, nutrition and biomechanics. So, why exactly is strength training so important for women? What do you need to get started? How do you progress your practice? And is there any truth supporting that tired - but still getting traction - notion that lifting weights can ‘bulk you up’? Women’s Health’s Editor-in-Chief Claire Sanderson gets to the bottom of these questions, and more, in today's show.Join Joslyn Thompson Rule on Instagram: @joslynthompsonruleJoin Andy Vincent on Instagram @andyvincentptJoin Claire Sanderson on Instagram @clairesandersonJoin Women's Health UK on Instagram @womenshealthukLike what you’re hearing?
