S2 Ep 10: In her own words part 2 - Georgia Van Cuylenburg on family and resilience

Trigger Warning: Listener discretion is advised. This episode discusses eating disorders, child sexual violence, mental health, and trauma. If you find yourself in need of support please see the support listed at the end of the show notes. Georgia Van Cuylenburg, actor, podcaster and activist, knows a thing or two about resilience.  While her story and name may be familiar, it’s not because of her words or work. Instead it is the words and work of her brothers Hugh and Josh Van Cuylenburg the hosts of the award-winning podcast, The Imperfects. Until now Georgia’s story has only been told in parts and not by Georgia herself. Now it is time for Georgia to reclaim her story and share her perspective and version of events. Georgia spoke exclusively to Laura Jackel and Cathy O’Brien of The Change podcast in a two part special about her childhood, her conversations with Hugh and their ongoing relationship.  Hosts: Cathy O’Brien https://www.instagram.com/cathy_l_obrien/ Laura Jackel https://www.instagram.com/lauracjackel/ Guest:  Georgia Van Cuylenburg https://www.instagram.com/georgiavanc/ Support Services:  Lifeline 13 11 14 1800RESPECT 1800 737 732 Beyond Blue 1300 224 636  https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/urgent-help 13YARN 13 92 76  Butterfly Foundation  Support for eating disorders and body image issues 1800 33 4673 Blue Knot This is a support service for adult survivors of childhood trauma and abuse, parents, partners, family and friends.
