Show Notes

Presenter, author, campaigner, Natasha Devon tours schools, universities and a whole host of events across the globe delivering her insights on mental health, body image, gender and equality. You can hear Natasha on LBC for a weekly show on Sundays from 7pm as well as reading regular pieces for the likes of Grazia, The Guardian and more. With her background in mental health Natasha has written a number of books as well as releasing her first fictional book ‘Toxic’ in 2022.

Kris and Natasha discuss how her anxiety manifested itself in an eating disorder and how moving through that period shaped her mantras to life. With her experiences she is founder of the Mental Health Media Charter, which looks at how the media report on mental health and a strong advocate for having mental health first aiders in the workplace.

As always with the topics in the podcast, some may find subjects triggering.
