Cait Miers is a surf, fashion & lifestyle photographer, and the creator of Laugh Lines: a global portrait movement to take 1,000 makeup-free portraits of women around the world. Through Laugh Lines, Cait is on a mission to challenge beauty standards, reclaim self-worth and dismantle the idea that beauty needs fixing.
In this episode, we speak with Cait about why she started Laugh Lines, how women have reacted to seeing photos of themselves makeup-free, the BTS of starting a business, and a reminder that we are all so much more than the way we look!

It’s time to open the mailbox and give you our thoughts on your most personal questions. This week your questions are about copping judgment for breastfeeding in public and where to draw the line with drug taking.
QUESTION #1: I’m pregnant for the first time and my mum has been making judgemental comments about women who breastfeed in public. She thinks it’s attention seeking. I don’t know how I’ll feel about breastfeeding yet but I’m not sure how to deal with my mum’s comments if & when she makes them
QUESTION #2: My boyfriend is thinking about taking drugs at a music festival. He knows drugs are a big no for me. Is this a reasonable deal breaker for me?

This week Laura shares about the simple things she’s doing to rebuild her confidence postpartum 💜
Steph has rid herself and Harvey of nits…but would it be the worst thing in the world if they came back?
Plus! Why do we find squeezing things like nits and pimples so satisfying? And we asked you what gross things you find oddly satisfying and we’re so glad we’re not the only ones who enjoy these things.
