S2, Ep 7 - Mel and Gabbi Osborne

Today, I’m so grateful to be able to bring you two guests: mother and daughter Mel and Gabbi Osborne.

We’ve talked a lot on the podcast about the things we hear from our mothers, and how that has sometimes shaped our feelings about our own body’s. In today’s chat, we explore Mel’s relationship to her body and how hard she worked to not spread that to her daughter Gabbi, and the subsequent soul searching she did when Gabbi was diagnosed with Anorexia. We talk about Gabbi’s ongoing recovery. And we discuss the challenge around how much autonomy and privacy we should be giving our children when it comes to what they’re seeing on social media. We didn’t solve that one, so if you have any hot tips, do share!

I’m super grateful to both Mel and Gabbi for sharing their story so honestly, and we wish Gabbi continued wellness.
