This week, I’m joined by the extraordinary poet and bestselling author, Donna Ashworth. If, like me, you’re one of her millions of followers, you’ll know how powerfully her words speak to the heart. In this episode, Donna opens up about overcoming anorexia, learning to embrace grief, and her lifelong connection to spirituality. We talk about how eating disorders can feel like an addiction, why sharing our ‘ugly truths’ brings healing, and the importance of community and vulnerability. Plus, Donna shares the science behind meditation and affirmations, offering practical ways to find light even in dark times. Whether you’ve wrestled with grief, addiction, or simply want to live more joyfully, this conversation is truly a soul cleanse. Listen in and DM me your thoughts – let’s keep the conversation going.
