  • A must listen for parents looking for support and ideas

    Wow! What an eye opening conversation between Harriet and Jenny. As a parent of a neurodiverse tween, I gained so much insight and inspiration from the tools and stories shared. I’ve already forwarded the show to the other adults in my child’s life. Valuable to listen in for stories and strategies even if your child doesn’t have an eating disorder but struggles with mental health and/or navigating a neurotypical world.

  • A lifesaver. And I mean that literally

    I can’t thank you ladies enough for putting these shows together. My daughter has been in hospital with ED and is on the other side now. We were pointed toward a online course called ‘dolphins’ and it was a useful insight but I have to say that listening to these maudsley episodes especially with some real world examples has made a huge difference to my understanding.

    Thankyou so much for all the great work you’ve put into this.

    All the best
