This week I am joined by the incredible Laura Phelan of Phelan Well, Laura is a Therapist and Coach who specialises in Eating Disorders and Body Image. She works with clients online and in person through 1-1 coaching and delivering workshops to empower people to feel well from the inside out.

I can relate to Laura in so many ways, through my own almost decade long battle with an eating disorder and depression, despite this I’ve never really delved into this as a subject on the podcast so with the festive period on the doorstep I think it’s a great opportunity for Laura and I to get raw and real on how to cope with Christmas if you are struggling with an disordered eating, an unhealthy relationship with food and your body or an eating disorder.

We’ll be answering some of the big questions that come up around this time of year and give our advice on how to cope with food and feelings over Christmas.

From how to deal with relatives that you haven’t seen in a long time, coping with comments such as “you look well” and navigating food in all its forms.

Don’t forget to reach out if you’re struggling this year, or at any time of the year. No matter what you’re going through there is always someone who will listen.
