#288 - 'If I didn't find a new purpose on time, anorexia would have killed me.' | Kate Reid.

Kate Reid is the founder and co-owner of 'Lune'. Lune is the croissanterie responsible for what some of the worlds most esteemed food critics believe could just be the best pastry the world has ever tasted.Whilst her obsessive nature that she describes as both her greatest strength and weakness, made a compelling argument for Kate's inevitable success in life, her early devotion to the world of aerospace engineering and a job as the only female working in a technical capacity at Williams Racing in the highly competitive world of Formula 1 are a far cry from the world which now occupies her attention.A big believer that there is more than one way to get where you are going, Kate's story is a rollercoaster of emotions and challenges that nearly killed her amidst a terrifying experience with anorexia and depression. So how did she get here? Well for that answer my friend, you may just have to watch and listen.You can follow both Kate & I on social media @bradleyjdryburgh @ms.lune Checkout Kate's new memoir 'Destination Moon' here: https://www.amazon.com.au/exec/obidos/ASIN/1761632469?tag=simonsayscomIf you enjoyed this chat you can give back to the channel by subscribing & sharing it with your mates.Big Love,Brad.
