Show Notes
Have you ever felt rubbish about your body? Imagine working in an industry where every inch of you is constantly scrutinised. Over a period of time, the criticism Charli faced working as a model really took its toll on her to the point where she decided to throw the towel in and give up on her dream of working as a model. In this week's podcast she opens up about her battle with mental health and an eating disorder that she tackled. Charli was deemed too small to be a plus size model yet too big to be a standard model and tells us how it felt to be a model in the middle in a demanding industry.
