In this episode I speak to one of the most impressive people I’ve ever met, boxer Mary Kate Slattery.
Originally from Dublin, Mary Kate spent parts of her childhood in Lahinch in Co. Clare.
She’s the eldest of three girls, a law graduate from Trinity College Dublin and when she was only 9 she developed anorexia. She spent time in and out of Crumlin children’s hospital in Dublin and eventually had to go to London to receive treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
In this conversation we speak about her battle with anorexia, perfectionism, therapy, meditation, femininity, letting go and her love of boxing.
It’s such an inspiring yet challenging conversation in parts, so please be aware before you listen.
Also as you can hear in this episode, Mary Kate is very thankful to her psychiatrist Fiona McNicholas for helping her recover from anorexia and if you're worried about yourself or someone you love, you can reach out for help here...
