Knowing Me Glowing you is your essential podcast for inspirational conversations.A few years ago I was a single parent of 3 children struggling to keep the roof over our heads and put food on the table. Whilst moving from one rented accommodation to another and suffering mental health issues, I was desperately trying to build a career and better life for me and my family. I took the risk of moving us to London from the countryside in a transit van and a sheep trailer desperate to pursue a dream. Fast forward a few years, 10 house moves, over 20 au-pairs and some yoga training: I'm a best selling author and multi award winning skin expert with many celebrity clients and a global following. This podcast is here to inspire you, to support you, and educate you through whatever life journey you are on or aspire to be on. After spending 20 years treating clients in clinic, listening and supporting them along their beauty, life & health journey. This podcast is an extension of my beauty bed, through my lense and that of my clinical practice - open conversations with many inspirational and talented people in their field. Nothing is off bounds, from skincare, mindfullness, careers, sex, parenting and everything inbetween. My name is Abigail James and I am so pleased you are here.

Alex Light on overcoming an eating disorder, and empowering women to feel better about their bodies

Firstly in this conversation we do talk openly about eating disorders, so there is a trigger warning I would like to make you aware of before you dive in and listen.

In this episode I am joined by the inspirational, author, podcaster and body confidence campaigner, Alex Light.

As someone who has suffered firsthand the effects of disordered eating in both myself and my daughter’s lives, it was so moving to talk to Alex about her own struggles and how she overcame them , launching a whole online movement in the process.

We also talk about the impact of diet culture, and how fashion and beauty standards in women can have such a negative impact on people’s mental health and self worth.

Alex has been passionately campaigning to change the language surrounding body image, even giving evidence in the House of Commons to support increased education in schools and further training for Doctors on treating Eating Disorders.

Alex also shares her exciting plans for the future and how she hopes to grow her reach and messaging even further.
