Anna Richardson has over 20 years’ experience at the heart of British Broadcasting and is an established household name and award winning writer and presenter. She began her TV life as a journalist on the Big Breakfast, Channel 4’s most successful breakfast show. A trusted and experienced broadcaster, she is as comfortable hosting popular Factual Entertainment shows such as Channel 4’s headline grabbing Naked Attraction - as she is leading hard-hitting documentaries like Are You Autistic? With a particular interest in lifestyle and mental health, she is the author of two books on food and dieting; a frequent podcast host, and is also a qualified Cognitive Hypnotherapist. Anna is the co-founder of Mindbox - a 24 hour online therapy centre that specialises in supporting people struggling with stress and anxiety. Anna's latest project is her brand new podcast which focusses on sex and relationships "It Can't Just Be Me" which answers listeners' dilemmas with the help of celebrity guests and experts. In this episode, Anna and Alice discuss how hynotherapy changed Anna's life, how she came into fitness later on when she had a realisation that she needs to look after her body as it's the only one she's got. Anna also opens up about how she combats trolling and protects herself on social media.
