Finding Body Confidence, with Iris McAlpin

On this episode of the Brave series of The Body Shameless podcast, Iris McAlpin talks about an eating disorder that defined a decade of her life.

McAlpin is a mental health advocate (irismcalpin.com), and founder of an online course titled Freedom From Food Addiction.

As the creator of The New Humanitarian, an Instagram campaign that seeks to bring attention to the disconnect between social media and reality, McAlpin bravely shares her own struggle with body image issues and depression to now educate, empower and encourage others to understand, “self care isn’t selfish.”

She also shares her perspective on creating a more inclusive fashion industry, and the challenges of showcasing body positivity on social media platforms.
