I’ve only recently stumbled across this podcast and wish I’d found it sooner! Being someone from the ‘older’ age bracket I find the podcasts interesting, relevant and real! Your shared experience adds to the authenticity of your podcast and you present it in such an ‘easy listening’ way. An incredibly useful, supportive and insightful podcast. Thank you.
I’ve never left a review before but your podcast deserves to be heard by as many people as possible so here I am!

Hannah’s passion and intelligence shine as she interviews people from every walk of life as they discuss their unique struggles with eating disorder recovery. Her authenticity grounds this podcast and makes it relatable and timely. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
