Maddy Tyers is an actress, TV host and you may even recognise her from a stint on Channel 9's Lego Masters.
But what you may not know is the effervescent Maddy has been on quite the journey in her lifetime. At the age of 8 she developed an eating disorder, by the age of 16 she was hospitalised. Doctors feared for her life because she was so unwell.
Maddy is now 32. It’s taken many, many years in recovery to get to the point she’s at today and she’s thriving,
Maddy just released a children’s book called \"When Anna Came To Stay\" – aimed at that vulnerable 5-12 year old age group to encourage body positivity and help young children identify disordered eating habits.
Now, just a note, there were a few technical glitches thanks to the joys of recording online through lockdown. I hope they don’t distract too much from Maddy's beautifully contagious energy.
*TRIGGER WARNING - this episode discusses eating disorders. 24 hour help is available through the Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673 or LIFELINE on 13 11 14.*
