This week I’m ed by my friend and songwriting collaborator Lydia Sutherland—who you might know as the co-writer of Miles Don’t Matter on my new EP. We open up about today’s pressure to always look “camera-ready,” struggling with disordered eating, and the many influences that shape how we see our bodies. We also talk about how social media affects self-worth, and what it’s like when your image starts to feel like your identity and your appearance seems just as important as your talent or hard work. Even with all of that, there’s light too—Lydia shares how a close friendship unexpectedly turned into the relationship she never saw coming (and how dating someone in music can actually work). 2m27b
