TW: In this episode we discuss mental health disorders, in particular, eating disorders – please listen when you feel you can. Scroll to the bottom for support.

Chrissy is someone who I have admired from a far for a very long time. Chrissy is a coach, therapist and counsellor with a background in eating disorder recovery, and she generously shares some of her own personal journey with that on this episode.

Chrissy was and to some extent still is an actor at heart, making her insider knowledge of our industry coupled with her career as a coach and therapist the most perfect guest for this podcast.

As a non-diagnosed neurodivergent child, Chrissy shares with us how she felt unwanted, unlovable with no friends. This notion of not feeling worthy of love directly impacted her into adulthood and some of her issues surrounding food, she links to her poor relationship with her own sense of self-worth.

“I thought shrinking my body would get people to love me” Kapartis said, “It was only years later when I was surrounded by love and no longer tiny, that I realised how someone just liking me in a smaller body was never love.”

Chrissy reminds us that self-love is the most important love of all. A relationship with yourself will always be your most important relationship.

“Life when you don’t hate yourself is on another planet!” Chrissy reminds us.

Chrissy you are such a special lady, and I feel so honoured that you opened up with such vulnerability on our podcast.

We know how deserving of love you are, and we all love you so deeply.

Thank you for your infinite wisdom!
