Eating Disorders, Self Awareness & Bikini Girl Talk feat Hayley Irwin - a podcast by Jasmin Jeffery

Eating disorders as a topic can be difficult to discuss, especially in this industry. Hopefully this will open the conversation and be an episode that all competitors can take a lot away from, whether you have had an eating disorder, currently facing difficulties or not ever struggled with any form of eating disorder.

The amount we managed to cover in this episode is insane, so a massive thank you to Hayley for being so honest and open with her past experiences with this.

Hayley is currently a UKBFF Bikini Competitor and a PT/Online Coach.
