Eat with Amy

TRIGGER WARNING - this episode contains frank conversations about eating disorders and mental health. This week we have a special bonus episode with guest host, Sophie, aka my sister and registered nutritionist. She chats to me about my experience with bulimia, disordered eating and exercise addiction. Starting from childhood, we explore my relationship with food and how things spiralled out of control, as well as how they got better and what life’s like bulimia free.

We share our biggest icks - from short arms and spray on skinny jeans, to being ignored by waiters and being scared of dogs. Listen to the end to find out our definitive top 5 icks.

Happy New Year to all! New year, same guests - we’ve come full circle and got our favourite OG participants back on the pod, Beth and Naima, sharing (possibly even a little too honestly) our highs and lows of this whirlwind of a year aka 2021. We speak about lessons learned, what we’re leaving in 2021 and what we’re striving for in 2022.
