    Binge Eating: The Most Common Eating Disorder No One Talks About
    Dec 2 2024
    Welcome to The Life of Bryony, where we explore life’s messier moments. MY GUEST THIS WEEK: JESS GRIFFITHS This week, I’m joined by the brilliant Jess Griffiths, an eating disorder expert who brings both personal and professional insights to our chat. We talk about the challenges of recovery, how self-compassion plays a key role, and why hope is always possible—even when it feels like the hardest thing to hold on to. Jess and I touch on the pressures of perfectionism, the importance of being kind to ourselves, and practical tips for building resilience. Whether you’re facing an eating disorder yourself, supporting someone you love, or just trying to be gentler with yourself, I really think this conversation will resonate with you.

    Laura Adlington: Body Confidence, Bake Off Fame, and Overcoming Diet Culture
    Nov 25 2024
    Welcome to The Life of Bryony, where we explore life’s messier moments. GUEST: LAURA ADLINGTON In this empowering episode, Bryony Gordon sits down with Great British Bake Off alum and advocate Laura Adlington to discuss body image, self-acceptance, and living life unapologetically. Laura shares her journey from struggling with diet culture and disordered eating to becoming a vocal champion for body neutrality and inclusivity. She talks openly about the challenges of existing in a society that prioritises appearance over health, the impact of social media, and how fashion can be a tool for self-expression. From rejecting extreme weight-loss surgery to finding joy in life’s everyday moments, Laura’s story is one of resilience, growth, and refusing to live a half-life. Laura’s message is clear: everyone deserves respect and representation, no matter their size. This episode is a celebration of individuality, courage, and the importance of embracing yourself fully.
