Introducing Voice No. 11 (of 100) - the beautifully witty and honest published author and food-blogger Jo (Joanna Weston). In this podcast episode Jo shares her honest story, with all the highs and lows overcoming anorexia as a teenager, the honest struggles of trying to conceive (including miscarriage), her experience of both an ideal birth followed by a traumatic birth and how postnatal depression can manifest as intense guilt. Jo's incredible journey and message shows how the determination to overcome mental health issues by facing them head on can lead to a healthier mindset. From being a teenager with an unhealthy relationship to food, Jo has now become a successful author of healthy recipes for children and how to adopt the right positive approach to teach children healthy relationships with food. This episode is full of real honest truths that very few people talk about - from how trying to conceive can become an overwhelming 'mission', to how that bond doesn't always come instantly when you give birth. There are equally some brilliantly funny moments and this captures Jo's positive mindset and how overcome life changing health issues through life doesn't define you, but in Jo's case has made her a successful author, blogger and app creator. Thank you to Jo for being part of the Mortal And Strong project.
