I think it's okay, everything will be okay in the future.
Imagine facing the darkest moments of your life and finding a way to rise above them. In this heartfelt episode of TRIBE TALK, Emily Andrew sits down with Laura Shah, a BEAT ambassador, who courageously shares her journey through anorexia and profound personal loss. Laura opens up about her struggle with an eating disorder that began as a means to control the chaos around her, including a tragic suicide attempt and the subsequent loss of her mother's partner.
These experiences deeply affected her late teens and early twenties, but they also set her on a path to recovery and advocacy. Laura recounts how accepting help from others was a pivotal moment in her healing process. She discusses the transformative power of therapy, both as an adolescent and an adult, in helping her navigate grief and trauma. With honesty and vulnerability, Laura reveals her greatest realizations and the ongoing work she does with BEAT, a leading mental health charity.
And if you're a dog lover, you'll enjoy the unexpected cameo by Laura's dog, Jess, who brings a touch of lightness to their conversation. This episode is not just a story of struggle; it's a testament to resilience and the importance of seeking support. Whether you're dealing with similar issues or supporting someone who is, Laura's insights offer hope and practical advice.
