IN CONVERSATION: Clare Bowditch

Happy, happy, happy Thursday our favourite listeners! Today on the show, we’re joined by Clare Bowditch, a musician and actress who has now released her memoir, Your Own Kind of Girl, a book that explores the stories we tell ourselves and what happens when we believe them. In this episode we talk about what it’s like to lose a sister, be sent to a diet doctor when you’re still in primary school, and accept yourself when the world tells you that you shouldn’t. A bit of a trigger warning on this one, too: this episode discusses eating disorders in a manner that might be triggering for some listeners.
