I’ve only recently started to discover my love for podcasts as my phone time has switched from flipping through my Instagram feed and curating playlists on SoundCloud, to hunting through the Podcast app for some of the most relevant talks for our generation. Inspiration, motivational, educational and for the less serious, just a simple pick me up for the day, Podcasts have been my source of positivity and comfort over the pasts for months.

My curiosity and newfound adoration for Podcasts started when I first discovered supermodel Ashley Graham’s “Pretty Big Deal”. Here, the style icon and barrier-breaking body activist sits down with some of her brilliant, inspiring and honest friends about what makes them a Pretty Big Deal.
