124: Overcoming fame's dark side: Kate DeAraugo on addiction, food noise and body image challenges

No Wellness Wankery

Feel exhausted for not being able to live up to the society’s standards?
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Kate DeAraugo, the 2005 Australian Idol winner, as she opens up about her ongoing journey to find balance and self-compassion in life.

Kate shares her remarkable path from fame to personal challenges. Starting with childhood struggles with disordered eating and battling substance addiction in the public eye, she reveals how motherhood became a turning point, shifting her focus from self-obsession to nurturing.

We also delve into topics like food addiction and medications such as Ozempic for managing eating disorders. While they can provide temporary relief, we discuss the challenges that arise when you stop using them.

And if you haven't already, tune in to Kate's podcast "Why Do I Feel This Way," where she candidly discusses her life experiences, offering hope and a supportive space for others.
