Shedding the Armour: Confronting Insecurities with Emily Laing and Grace Grundy

It's finding people that you can put around you, that don't share those values and, like that, can say: I love you for all these reasons.
Ever felt like you're wearing a suit of armour just to face the world? In this episode, Emily Laing sits down with Grace Grundy to tackle the wild and deeply personal world of insecurities. They don't just skim the surface; they dive right into the heart of what makes us doubt ourselves. From the way we look to the quirks we hate in ourselves but love in others, nothing is off-limits.
Emily opens up about her own struggles with self-deprecation and addiction, sharing how she's found a path to recovery. Grace brings her journey of self-acceptance to the table, reflecting on how finding a supportive community has made all the difference. Together, they explore how art can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and how therapy can help us overcome our deepest insecurities.
They also touch on the impact of social media on body image and discuss the sensitive topics of plastic surgery and body dysmorphia. What stands out is their emphasis on the importance of finding people who truly understand and support you. As Emily says, 'It's finding people that you can put around you, that don't share those values and, like that, can say: I love you for all these reasons'.
