The Secret Burden of an Eating Disorder with Ashlee Thomas

Hello and Welcome to the Redwood Wellbeing Podcast, where each week I am dedicated to supporting parents on the journey of nurturing their child's healthy relationship with food and their body image.

Through practical, everyday strategies and tips, I help you to become empowered to make a lasting difference in your child's wellbeing journey.

In this episode, I'm joined by Ashlee Thomas from The Secret Burden, who is on a mission to make a change in lives of those affected by eating disorders.

We discuss;

• Ashlee's journey with Anorexia Nervosa and her recovery and healing.
• How her parent's supported her in her recovery.
• How parent's can help prevent serious mental health concerns from developing.
• How The Secret Burden helps families across Australia.
• Memorable success stories from affected people and their families.
• Advice for parents going through similar struggles with their own children.
• The need for greater awareness and intervention and support for Eating Disorder sufferers.
