Summary

In this heartwarming episode, Helen welcomes her stepdaughter Lizzie for an open conversation about generational attitudes toward nudity, growing up with a naturist dad, and with ready-made body confidence. From family stories and media appearances to running naked 5Ks and challenging social norms, Helen and Lizzie share laughs, insights, and advice on embracing yourself - clothes or no clothes. It's a fresh take on body positivity, acceptance, and the freedom to just be yourself from the perspective of young Gen-Z woman. In addition to their discussion, Helen's husband Simon has published an accompanying article on the INF-FNI blog on the subject of children and naturism. Check it out at: blog.inf-fni.org/why-were-protecting-children-from-the-wrong-things. Also in this episode, Helen catches up with Fiona Discombe and discuss the Free the Nipple debate. Together they reflect on how society continues to police women’s bodies, why UK television rules still draw arbitrary lines, and what genuine equality might look like in practice.
