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.

It's Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness Week (BIEDAW), and in this episode I'm joined by Eating Disorder Coach, author, and former Eating Disorder sufferer, Lexi Crouch.

We discuss:

• Her journey through Anorexia Nervosa from childhood and the challenges she faced with eating and her body image.
• Her recovery journey and the complexities that come with healing.
• What it looked like for her to get to know herself and let go of control as she discovers yoga.
• Lexi's work as an eating disorder coach and how she supports people in their own healing journeys.
• Her book "Renourish" that guides people through the recovery journey.
