Body confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you fight for.
Ashley James is a DJ, presenter, and mother of two — but she’s also a powerful voice for women challenging outdated narratives around body image, confidence, and motherhood. She spent years thinking her body was something to hide, change, or apologise for. In this episode, Ashley opens up about the long road to self-worth: from being sexualised as a teenage girl to developing body dysmorphia in an industry obsessed with appearance, to rediscovering herself in motherhood.
Roxie and Ashley dive into societal double standards, the politics of boobs, resilience in the face of judgment, and why rising means knowing you’re already enough. Whether you’re navigating self-love, postpartum identity, or just tired of the noise, this one’s a must-listen.
