Abbie Chatfield 'It's damaging the way I see myself'

Abbie Chatfield has built an empire off the back of reality television with her smart and self-deprecating views on sex, politics and body positivity. Her unfiltered opinons have seen her resonate with podcast, TV and radio audiences, proving this tenacious 26 year old is a force to be reckoned with.

In this episode Jess and Abbie explore where her confidence comes from, and how we all might all be inspired by Abbie to embrace the younger, wilder parts of ourselves again.

Abbie also opens up about her struggle with anxiety and depression from an early age, and how the ‘insane’ volume trolling she’s received since appearing on The Bachelor has impacted her mental health. Abbie is also a great believer in going to therapy when things are good, as that’s when the actual work happens.
