Firstly in this conversation we do talk openly about eating disorders, so there is a trigger warning I would like to make you aware of before you dive in and listen.
In this episode I am joined by the inspirational, author, podcaster and body confidence campaigner, Alex Light.
As someone who has suffered firsthand the effects of disordered eating in both myself and my daughter’s lives, it was so moving to talk to Alex about her own struggles and how she overcame them , launching a whole online movement in the process.
We also talk about the impact of diet culture, and how fashion and beauty standards in women can have such a negative impact on people’s mental health and self worth.
Alex has been passionately campaigning to change the language surrounding body image, even giving evidence in the House of Commons to support increased education in schools and further training for Doctors on treating Eating Disorders.
Alex also shares her exciting plans for the future and how she hopes to grow her reach and messaging even further.
