As GirlGuiding UK release the results of a survey showing that 40% of girls feel anxiety around comparing themselves to others online, Lauren and guests explore the pressures on young women's self-esteem and discuss how self-esteem can be built. How is life online altering the way young women feel about themselves, for good and ill?; how useful is the self-help industry around self-esteem, and how genuinely are commercial brands trying to engage with self-esteem?
