#6 | Alone With Sofia – Shame, Fear & Her Experience With Eating Disorders

In this educational, inspiring & eye-opening episode, we chat to Sofia – a bubbly, resilient & wise individual who has hit rock bottom & fought her way back to the top. It began at a young age with a desire to look a certain way, & developed into a need to gain control, distract her mind & numb the pain.

In 2021, Sofia found herself at a stage where she describes as “falling off the deep end” as she was lost in a dangerous & destructive cycle that led her to losing herself, lying to those around her & fearing for her life.   

After going in & out of hospital, Sofia was hit with a “wake up call” that led her to spending 8 weeks in in-patient care to face her illness, receive appropriate treatment & find her footing.

It is now almost a year later & Sofia has joined us to share her story, break the stigma & educate us on eating disorders & everything she has learnt on her journey. 

Despite discussing a confronting topic, Sofia was incredibly open, honest & clear, & even made us laugh a number of times. We are so proud of Sofia & the outcome of this episode & we are so excited for you to listen!
