ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Breaking Barriers || Kitty Alice on Transforming Personal Struggle into Mental Health Advocacy

Host: Ryan McIlhennon

Interviewee: Kitty Alice

Trigger warning: Anorexia, PTSD & Anxiety


Summary:

In this episode, Kitty Alice, Co-founder of CounterPoint Wellness, shares her personal journey with PTSD and anorexia, which began at just 15 years old. Supported by her family, Kitty underwent therapy from a young age, but she quickly realized the limitations of the available support when her mental health challenges manifested as an eating disorder. This realization spurred her on a mission to improve mental health and support systems. Kitty discusses the crucial interconnectedness of physical and mental health, the importance of comprehensive health education in schools, and the need for accessible support services covering a range of needs from dietary to psychological.
