Christa D'Souza on struggling with addiction and living with an eating disorder

Christa D'Souza is a mother and a British features journalist who contributes to many publications, including British Vogue, The Guardian, The Sunday Times and many more. Christa is known for her articles, which often cover body issues such as ageing, anorexia and cosmetic surgery. Her writing is often praised for her humour and honesty and sometimes her controversial subject matter.
I wanted to speak to Christa today to discuss something she hasn't spoken about in too much detail before - her own struggle with an eating disorder and addictions. Christa is so unbelievably open in this conversation and discusses how she has learned to turn her previous pain into her power. And her own story has given me hope that these invisible bullies can be defeated.
