In episode 54 we chat to Lauren -  a former student at The University of Glasgow who now works for the visitor experience team at The Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery operated by The University. Since childhood Lauren has struggled with anorexia. This conversation covers the deep struggle for her education and her family, as she tries to recover from the debilitating impact it has had on her life. Lauren advocates for mental health awareness and chats openly about her personal experiences and what Universities can do to support students in similar situations. it is a lovely heart warming chat, but have the tissues ready!
