This August/September we are bringing you The HER Series. A one-on-one intimate podcast with host of The Secret Sunday Session, Ashlee Thomas as her book “Surviving the Jungle” gets ready to hit the shelves! And this week we are kicking it off with “Before I met Her”.
In this episode Ashlee shares how her story began and the moments leading to meeting “Her”. She bravely admits the hardship of privilege, the struggle of speaking up as a young person and how the drive to be seen and re-claim ownership of her body led her to welcome “Her” with open arms.
This series will uncover the truths of The Secret Burden story. Highlighting the formation of one story that turned into a mission of driving hope in the eating disorder and mental health space.
