Journalist and beauty editor Edwina Ings-Chambers shares her refreshingly honest take on body image and the concept of body ownership rather than confidence. She opens up about feeling she's never had full agency over her body, even when slim, and how menopause has brought both new challenges and unexpected freedom.


Key Points:

  • Why Edwina rejects “body neutrality” in favour of body ownership
  • Growing up with a critical, image-focused mother
  • Emotional eating vs exercise as coping strategies
  • Menopause changes: loss of body familiarity but newfound freedom
  • Working in fashion while battling body image issues
  • A lifelong love of vintage fashion and old Hollywood glamour
  • Career highlights at The Financial Times and beyond
