#13 Chloë, how can we break the stigma around mental health issues?

My guest on this episode is Chloë Grande, a mental health writer,
speaker and blogger...and a dear friend from Canada. So once again,
we're crossing borders and time zones on this podcast for yet
another insightful and inspiring conversation between friends! This
time, however, it might be even more impactful than most of the
previous conversations so far. We're talking about a topic that
really isn't any easy to talk about to many people: mental health
issues, especially eating disorders. So if these issues are
something that triggers you, you might rather want to listen to one
of the other episodes of "Unter Freunden & Freundinnen",
instead. On her blog and other social media channels, Chloë shares
her very own eating disorder recovery journey, in full openness and
honesty. While we don't dive much deeper into that very journey
throughout this podcast episode, we're talking about how she
decided to open up about her experience, how she's doing so,
exactly, and which impact she thus hopes to have on other people,
who might or might not share similar experiences. Chloë keeps
amazing me with very well-informed and thoughtful interviews,
feature articles and talks she's giving and publishing, the most
recent being a speech she gave at a TEDx conference! Follow her
blog as well as her Instagram and Twitter channel to not miss out
on the latest updates of her impressive journey, which also
includes workshops, peer mentoring...and might sooner or later even
extend to a book that she's currently working on. I'm sure there's
loads more to come and I cannot wait to find out what's next!
