The relationship between women and food can be incredibly complicated, and in many cases harmful. With weight loss and dieting engrained in girls from a young age, maintaining a positive mindset around food can be nearly impossible.
That's why Nicole Gaviria created Binge Free Bestie and is on a mission to help women improve their relationship with food, using her own experience with binge eating coupled with a master's degree in counselling.
In the episode, Toni and Nicole chat about how Nicole recognised her own binge eating habits and the work she's done to have a more positive mindset around food, her mission to help other women, and the amazing opportunity she had to meet Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett.

Rosa and Margo Flanagan have both dealt with their own struggles with disordered eating and have had to work together to create a healthy relationship with food.
