Taryn Brumfitt went viral back in 2013 when she shared a before and after photo online that broke with convention. Her before photo showed the results of a body building obsession she picked up after having kids, looking all tanned and trim, and her after was when she’d ditched that and returned to a normal body with lumps, bumps and less tan.

Taryn went on to found the Body Image Movement, directing her first feature film 'Embrace' in 2016, and now releasing 'Embrace: Kids', confronting the alarming statistics that say around 60 per cent of children aged five to eleven years want to change something about their body.

In this conversation Taryn speaks about the cost of body loathing on our lives, how to change your view of your body and why she shared that first photo all those years ago.

Today Hollywood producer and screenwriter Michael Schur (The Good Place, Brooklyn 99, Parks and Recreation, The Office) joins Laura to talk about his new book 'How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Dilemma'. Michael digs into to some of moral philosophies that have shaped our world for centuries and that frame a lot of the storylines in The Good Place. He considers how we define our sense of right and wrong, whether or not it’s possible to live a wholly ethical life, and how a belief in God fits into our approach to morality. He also - which might seem unusual for this podcast - talks about the power of distraction in leading you to your purpose.
