Series 11 Ep 5: From Singing & PR to Body Confidence Coach: Lindsay Reid 

Lindsay hasn’t just had one next chapter. She’s had several – from playing badminton for Scotland as a child, to working in sports journalism, singing in bars around Scotland and working in PR. She’s now using everything she’s learned in her work as a body confidence coach – which she decided to train as when she saw so many wonderful women in her life struggling. She has her own podcast and over the years she says she’s worked with thousands of people helping them to feel happier within themselves and improve their self-acceptance. Lindsay believes we all have it in us to ‘shine’ and it’s all about how we feel.  But she believes the ‘feeling’ we’re all hoping for always comes after the action. The feeling of wholeness, peace and contentment - however that looks for us. Whatever it is we’re putting off, is no doubt the very thing we need to do. She believes deep down we all know what we need to feel our best, whether it’s a little more exercise, changing our diet or leaving a job which is making us miserable. It’s the thoughts that are holding us back, but when we question where did those thoughts come from and are they really true?… well, we can push them aside, a bit like the clouds - and the sun they’ve been hiding can begin to shine again.
