Some of the messaging is fine, BUT it's content with little no free thinking, just opinions of two people who are making money through your consumerism. Most of what they talk about is only adding to the ever-surmounting,unrealistic beauty standards and consumerism in today's society. I do think some experts that come on to discuss body positivity are good however, Sally and Alexandra fall short on being critical to their own priledge which is only perpetuating bias narratives. Instead, some, not all of their content contradicts itself by perpetuating unfair stigmas around mental health. When I attempted to discuss that they take into account that someone "bailing on a date' last minute or without much notice, that this behviour could be due to the "person who bail/s" experiencing anxiety and the way in which they suggest to their followers to address this with a "person who bail/s" could be more detrimental to their mental health and make them feel as though they couldn't talk about it comfortablly without being accused of being disrespectful. This is very pertinent to men who struggle with verbalising that they're struggling. April Hélène-Horton aka The Bodzilla is awesome and you gaining more of her perspectives is great. You should also carry this through to discussions on postive ways to destigmatise discussions around mental health instead or perpetuating unfair labels such as "bailing" be a "red flag" when you start dating. I'm guilty of it, I bet everyone here reading this is as well. Its called anxiety and it can manifest into not wanting to leave the house last minute. You talk about how to make smarter life decisions, however perpetuate consistent unrealistic beauty standards and consumerism regardless of how sustainable it may or may not be. Your podcast 'learning to love yourself' is followed up by content about buying makeup from Sephora. Nothing wrong with make-up and feeling beautiful in yourself but. You're following social media beauty trends and standards which are unrealistic. This is how I view your contradictory message; Sal and Al "feel confident in yourself", also Sal and Al "buy these products to look your best self to continue to perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards and buy into consumerism". In summary, I can't listen to them. They'll knock off a few brain cells unless they've got real experts in. Also relaty shows such as love Island, Married at first sight are unrealistic models of what relationships are. You should address these issues. Or don't and keep being basic.
