Joining me today is trumpet player, Rebecca Toal. We speak about Rebecca's musical journey, her struggles with anorexia and bulimia at school and how she has curated an instagram platform to speak about body image and eating disorders. We also talk about how Rebecca manages her depression and the journey to becoming an authentic musician, even if that means following an undiscovered and non-typical path.

Rebecca Toal is a freelance trumpet player, harpist and teacher based in London. Rebecca recently graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, and is currently working as a graduate music assistant in St Albans, Hertfordshire. She is currently studying for the LRAM teaching diploma and also working towards her Level 2 Counselling Skills certificate. Rebecca is passionate about discussing mental health and body image, and has previously volunteered for the mental health group, ​Run Talk Run, a​nd ​The Real People Project ​on Instagram.
