In today's episode, I release a conversation that talks about living with an eating disorder and the struggles and misconceptions that come with.

This episode was with Hope Virgo, mental health campaigner and author of Stand Tall Little Girl.

Hope comes onto the show today to talk about her own experiences living with an eating disorder, how it stemmed from wanting control in her life following sexual abuse as a child, some of the struggles she faced on her recovery, and also the wider struggles that a lot of people with eating disorders till face to this day.

Hope has spent the last 4 years campaigning against the stigma, challenges and misconceptions those with eating disorders can face, and is spearheading change with her #dumpthescales campaign.
