They were:Han (Harvey) - to be louder in calling out diet culture and to be really aware of the subtle messaging of diet culture around New Year.Han (Hickinbotham) - to be actively engaging in eating disorder treatment.And... make sure you listen until the end for an incredible surprise.To find out more about Han, you can follow her on Instagram @hananaharvey or Twitter @1HannahHarvey.Please note that this podcast discusses anorexia nervosa recovery and thoughts around eating disorders.
