S1 Ep21: The magnificent Lynn Crilly!

Jess & Kayleigh had the honour of speaking candidly with counsellor/author & producer about eating disorders, OCD and our current climate. We are so excited for you all to hear this insightful conversation.

Lynn is a mental health champion, counsellor and author of four books that give advice and hope to sufferers of mental illness and their families, including Hope with Anorexia, Hope with OCD and Hope with Anxiety (Headline Health)
A mother to twin grown-up daughters, Charlotte and Samantha, and a Granma to Charlotte’s 6-month-old twins Georgia and Reggie, Lynn's passion for mental health awareness came through the battles she faced with Samantha, who suffered with anorexia in her teens and obsessive compulsive disorder in her early 20s.
Lynn works tirelessly to break the taboos around mental illness, making sure that no family ever feels alone in their struggle, whether through Lynn's unique and personalised approach to counselling or through her books and awareness raising.
More recently she has produced a short film co-written and acted in by her daughter Samantha , ‘A Day with OCD’ which is a satirical but equally sensitive look at just how debilitating living with OCD can be, It has been so well received that the next one ‘A Day with Anxiety’ is in the making.
Lynn is never happier than when surrounded by her family, husband Kevin, her girls, and now looks forward to combining her passion for mental health with a new chapter of her life as a granma.
