7. Navigating life around an eating disorder in dance & the creation of the IRIS CLINIC with Steph Archer

In this episode of The Hard Corps Podcast, I sit down with Steph Archer, professional dancer and co-creator of the Iris Clinic, an eating disorder clinic designed specifically for dancers. Steph shares her journey as a dancer, her personal struggles with body image, and the experiences that inspired her to create a safe and supportive space for dancers to seek professional help. Still actively dancing herself, Steph offers unique insights into balancing a demanding career with a commitment to mental health advocacy. This is a must-listen for anyone passionate about dance, wellness, and creating positive change in the arts.
