I am joined by Bethany Livingstone, a midsize fashion creator who opens up about her journey through of mental health and body image challenges. Bethany’s story is nothing short of extraordinary, as she candidly shares her experiences, struggles, and triumphs.

Bethany has a family history of mental health and at the young age of 14, she was faced with the diagnosis of schizophrenia, She takes us through her harrowing experience of being hospitalised and the courage it took to navigate the complexities of her condition. Bethany sheds light on the stigma that surrounds mental health issues and the crucial need for understanding and empathy.

But Bethany's journey isn't just about overcoming adversity; it's also about spreading positivity and self-love. She uses her social media platforms to promote body positivity, encouraging others to embrace their uniqueness and value themselves just as they are. Bethany is a true ray of sunshine and her kindness, positivity and resilience shine through as she shares her mission to inspire and uplift those around her.
