      • Episode 48: Eating Disorders with Athina Crilley

        As we start a new year many of us are thinking about diets and health and how we can change our habits. It's a good time to talk about a lot of the ways that our relationship to our bodies and food is not healthy. I talk to Athina Crilley about her journey with an eating disorder, how we think about our bodies, and our need to have control in our lives.

                              In this episode I talk with Hannah Stainer about mental health myths, stigmas, how to talk about it, and her work on the Psykhe podcast. We would all benefit from talking more about mental health and well-being so let's get into it!
