Main Character Energy: Fats Timbo on hormones, confidence and self-love

Award-winning content creator, comedian, and author Fats Timbo joins Dr Louise Newson for a powerful conversation on self-worth, confidence, and hormones. Fats, who has achondroplasia, shares how she turned adversity into empowerment – from childhood challenges and societal bias to becoming a viral creator and published author of Main Character Energy. In this warm, funny, and honest discussion, Fats opens up about: · Growing up with limited representation · Navigating bullying, ignorance, and social media · Building confidence and self-love on her own terms The episode also delves into hormonal health, as Fats describes how PMS (premenstrual syndrome) affects her mood, confidence, and relationships. Dr Louise [taken off surname as second mention] explains the science behind PMS and PMDD, highlighting how hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone can impact our mental wellbeing. Together, they call for greater understanding and personalised care – plus, they share affirmations, goal-setting tips, and small acts of kindness to build self-worth at any stage of life.
