Vogue Williams’ new memoir, “Big Mouth,” combines humour and heartfelt insights for anxious teens. It tackles themes like body image, mental health, and finding balance in life. With laugh-out-loud anecdotes and relatable struggles, Vogue aims to inspire and connect with readers navigating their own challenges, all while promoting healthy eating. Get your tissues ready – for laughter, of course!
Vogue Williams, our favourite podcaster and influencer, just dropped her new memoir, “Big Mouth,” and it’s a juicy read packed with life lessons for anxious teens. When she nervously met her editor after submission, she quipped, “Do I sound completely unhinged?” Spoiler alert: she doesn’t! Initially titled “I Thought I was Normal Until I Wrote It All Down,” the book is a hilarious yet heartfelt collection of her life stories.
Sporting a bright pink coat and the vibrant vibe of an influencer with over a million followers, Vogue’s memoir dives deep into the joys of life while tackling big issues like divorce, mental health, and her complex relationship with food. It’s like a chaotically engaging rollercoaster ride that you can’t help but laugh while crying through. Vogue promises there’s something in there for everyone – expect funny anecdotes along with some serious moments.
On the heavier side, she opens up about her struggles with anxiety and how it’s intertwined with her body image, especially growing up as the awkward tall girl with a big mouth. “A lot of young girls feel uncomfortable in their bodies, and I wasn’t different,” she explains, recalling her teenage awkwardness and the fond memories of being ‘the one no one fancied’.
In her Dublin promotions for a healthy eating initiative with HelloFresh, she shares, “I didn’t have a clue about food and exercise when I was younger.” She’s wise now, emphasising the importance of eating unprocessed food and the quest for a healthy balance. Processing food, like a great cocktail shaker, can be tricky, but hey, those ultra-processed treats can often leave you craving more!
Williams also touches on mental health and how success hasn’t magically waved goodbye to her anxiety. “Anxiety can’t be fixed; you just learn to live with it,” she notes, sharing a little anxiety episode on the Amalfi coast that made her go full-on meltd— err, spontaneous. After waking up at 4 AM in horror about petty things, she candidly admits to her husband, “Oh, I’m really sorry about that, Spenny!” Oops, isn’t that relatable?
The book is rich with real stories of her anxiety, including all those intrusive thoughts nobody wants to admit to – because let’s be honest, some of them belong in a comedy sketch! Amidst the meltdowns and catastrophising, Vogue’s intent is clear: let’s laugh about our troubles!
In conclusion, Vogue Williams’ memoir, “Big Mouth,” offers a humorous yet heartfelt glimpse into her chaotic life, discussing the ups and downs of growing up, body image issues, and the ever-present struggle with anxiety. By intertwining laughter with valuable lessons, she aims to resonate with teens and encourage them to embrace their own journeys. Plus, there’s food advice! What’s not to love?
