"External validation is not the key to success..." with journalist and author Bryony Gordon

This week, we are welcoming back to the podcast renowned journalist, author, and broadcaster Bryony Gordon. In this episode, Bryony and Alice discuss Bryony's journey with mental health, recovery from alcoholism, and her advocacy work through her mental health charity, Mental Health Mates. Candidly, Bryony shares her experiences with obsessive-compulsive disorder, binge eating disorder, and the life-changing impact of exercise on her mental health. Alice and Bryony dive into her journey of self-acceptance, the role of community in recovery, and the empowering act of embracing one's true self. They also touch on body image, societal pressures, and the misconception that happiness is a fixed goal. We would love hear from YOU!
