A pod a day keeps the darkness at bay

Good morning! I was just enjoying listening to one of my favourite podcasts this morning as I was getting ready for work, and found this episode from December last year (I’m catching up) really resonated with me – as I think it will with others struggling with addiction or neurological disorders as well, so I feel inclined to share.

In her not only disarming but entirely welcoming way of speaking to the listener, often alongside a medical expert and always interesting guests, Bryony Gordon tackles often sensitive topics most of the general public tends to shy away from in a non-judgemental and well-educated manner. This time, it was overeating disorder. You can read more about the disorder following the link.

It was Bryony’s book The Wrong Knickers that opened my eyes to the fact that there are others like me in this world, so I can of course recommend that as well. Today, this wonderful human being has become so much more than just an advocate for mental health – she’s a true inspiration, completely unafraid to get down and dirty with the “messier bits of life”, and she does so with gusto, care and delightful humour.

I highly recommend you have a listen by clicking the Spotify icon below, or you can give Bryony a follow on Instagram. Have a wonderful day, wherever you are!
