*This episode is a must-watch for anyone struggling with their own battles or seeking to understand the profound effects of eating disorders. 

 In today's episode, we've got an absolutely raw and powerful chat with James Roffey. From kicking a ball at Bisham Abbey alongside legends like Beckham and Shearer to battling the darkest corners of anorexia and bulimia, James opens up about his rollercoaster journey with an honesty that's both heart-wrenching and inspiring.

James shares the intense pressures he faced, especially from himself. He talks about the heartbreak of being told he wasn't good enough to turn pro just before his 17th birthday – a blow that shattered his world.

We dive deep into James' struggles with his self-worth, the rapid decline of his mental health, and the traumatic events that made everything worse. His battle with eating disorders started as anorexia, driven by an extreme need for control, and later morphed into bulimia, bringing severe health issues.

Listen as James recounts making himself sick up to 50 times a day, the secrecy and shame surrounding his condition, and the devastating impact on his family. Despite hitting rock bottom – including signing a do not resuscitate form at just 21 years old and weighing only 5 and a half stone – James' story is also one of resilience and recovery.

As a resilience and mental health coach, James offers profound insights into the importance of purpose and how he's managed to balance work, family, and his own well-being. His journey makes him a trustworthy and notable source for understanding the struggles of mental health and eating disorders.
