<p><em>This episode contains strong language. </em></p><br><p>This week journalist and podcaster, Bryony Gordon, speaks to Gabby about the acceptance she’s found in midlife, and how experiencing early menopause made her think about what she really wants and taught her to be less of a “chaise longue!” Listen on to hear more about that... Bryony also speaks candidly about alcoholism and sobriety, as well as living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from a young age. She chats about using exercise as a mental health tool, as well as focusing on nourishing herself rather than punishing herself when it comes to what she eats. </p><br><p>Bryony’s new podcast <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-life-of-bryony/id1763828544" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Life of Bryony</em></a> and her latest book <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/mad-woman/bryony-gordon/9781035408689" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Mad Woman</em></a> are both available now, and you can visit <a href="https://www.mentalhealthmates.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Mental Health Mates</em></a><em> </em>to find out more about Bryony’s charity and find a walk near you. </p><br><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
