27. Toxic spirituality, debunking the beach body ready myth and have staycations signalled the end of silly swimwear?

The Wingwoman - A podcast by Charlie and Frankie

In this week’s episode, Frankie’s new supermarket purchase is making her consider how staycations have changed swimwear, while Charlie’s trip to the seaside has put a new – and far more pleasant – spin on what it is to be beach body ready.

We discuss the pitfalls of the positivity industry in a pandemic and ask, why aren’t women better at attributing success to their own abilities. Plus we share the pieces and podcasts that have piqued our interest – all over a bottle of Terra Organica Primitivo for Charles, and a glass of Belvoir Elderflower and Rose Pressé for Frank.
