Molly Smith, 19, hopes her podcast about eating disorders can break down stigmas and misconceptions.
Eating disorders are both isolating and lonely - with many people wishing they had more of a community around them.Now 19, she hopes her podcast exploring disordered eating can break down stigmas and misconceptions."Since recovering, I've been so passionate about speaking openly on eating disorders because when I was poorly, I felt like nobody understood me," she tells BBC Newsbeat.
"There was no voice for me to really listen to. So I wanted to create a podcast to be that voice to people going through similar things."Molly feels she lacked a network of people she could relate to when she was unwell."I really think if I could have listened to a podcast with someone really normal who's been through a similar thing, it would have helped me immensely.
It also looks at the impact on families and friends - Molly doesn't want the podcast to just be for people with eating disorders."I think just to hear their perspectives was so eye-opening because anorexia, unfortunately, is a very selfish illness. "And I just didn't even consider how my parents may be feeling that their daughter was so ill. So it was so insightful to hear how much upset I caused them."
