Today’s guest is Leah Shutkever. Leah is Europes No.1 female competitive eater, multiple official Guinness World Record Title holder, proud non-conformist and all-round good woman.
In this deep dive interview, we discuss her story, her struggles with her body image, her relationship with food, how she learnt to be herself which brought about her amazing confidence, her rugby playing days, and how a sibling rivalry helped her to start her very successful YouTube channel.
Leah is phenomenal and deserves her amazing success. However, it is not just her channel that is awe inspiring, it is how Leah is so open and honest about her struggles with confidence and bullying when younger and the impact it had on her. She is very vulnerable and honest throughout, and shows how successful people are just people in the end, with their own worries and insecurities about themselves just like normal people. It is Leah's frank discussion on how she learnt to accept herself as she was, to realise the things she disliked actually made her unique, attractive and someone that people loved to watch ... and it helped create a juggernaut of a YouTube channel and career, that is a brilliant take-way message for listeners - she did it, so why can't you?
