Steph Elswood grew up as a professional dancer, in a world where a lot of the focus was on body image and where disordered eating was quite common in her circle. She has since healed her relationship with food an exercise and is now a health and fitness advocate, as well as the Director of body confidence workshops ‘Stay Sassy’, and Founder of non-alcoholic drinks range Carouse.
In today’s episode, Steph speaks to her experience as a dancer and what she’d now tell her younger self, her decision to give up alcohol and what this meant for her identity & among her friendship circles, and how she manages her own emotions whilst being an empath.
