I had the pleasure of chatting with Jaimee Krawitz, Registered Counsellor and Founder & CEO of the Hide N Seek Foundation. Jaimee is doing such important work in the world. The Hide N Seek Foundation is a not for profit organisation dedicated to changing the conversation around eating disorders. The vision of the Hide N Seek Foundation: A world where every young Australian living with an eating disorder receives the understanding, support, and resources they need throughout a hopeful journey of recovery.
Jaimee is dedicated to empowering others, promoting mental wellbeing and advocating for changes in the way society approaches eating disorders. Through Hide N Seek, she seeks to create an open conversation around eating disorders, foster awareness and provide essential resources and support to those caring for individuals with eating disorders.
I was blown away by what Jaimee does. This area has a huge place in my heart from my own personal experience and I knew that I always wanted to support this cause in any way I can and have more conversations around this topic.
Eating Disorders can be an extremely isolating experience, not only for the person suffering but for family members, partners and friends of those suffering, and thats why the work of the Hide n Seek Foundation is so important.
This conversation will be great for anyone who is caring for / supporting / or concerned about a loved one whom is navigating an eating disorder.
Today we spoke about:
- Jaimee's journey to becoming a Registered Councillor and creating Hide N Seek Foundation
- What the Hide N Seek Foundation does
- Jaimee's own experience with an eating disorder
- The importance of supportive conversations around eating disorders
- How to navigate the conversations with someone you are concerned about
- The importance of creating a safe environment
- Importance statistics about the rise of eating disorders in our recent times
- Inspiring hope for those who are navigating an eating disorder

and so much more...

Todays Episode is an interview with Al Thursfield, a food-loving entrepreneur from Byron Bay. In 2017, Al launched Daily Food, a snack brand that makes fun, functional and delicious snacks designed to help people fall in love with food again.
Al's journey to establishing her brand is a deeply personal one, rooted in her own battle with an eating disorder during her adolescent years. She didn't recognise it at the time, but the toxic diet culture of the 90s and 00s significantly influenced Al’s relationship with food and her body which, unfortunately, is an experience so many can relate to. Today, while less overt, toxic diet culture and its impacts are still felt. Through Daily Food, Al is on a mission to change that.
Daily Food makes functional, fun and delicious snacks that aim to inspire happier and healthier lives. Al is passionate about bringing joy back to the way we talk and think about food, and this shines through in our conversation today.
In our interview, we dive into:
- Her why and mission behind starting daily food.
- Her experience of an eating disorder and the isolation it causes.
- Her journey to recovery.
- Her intention to support people to find joy in sharing food with friends and family and shifting the way we look at food, seeing it as something to celebrate rather than a cause for anxiety.
- The impact of social media on young girls.
- How we speak to ourselves in front of our children.
- The You and Food survey and starting the conversation.
- Her business journey with Daily Food and how she has navigated the challenges.
And soo much more…

This Episode was very special to me. It was very spontaneous, but when I met Rick, I knew I had to bring his wisdom and message to the podcast.
I met Rick a few weeks ago at the gym I work at.
I wanted his message heard because it inspired me so much, it brought me to tears. So many of us give up on ourselves way to early. We park our dreams, our goals and living our life fully because we start to believe we are not worthy of it. We look for evidence to support this. We allow our age to define who we are and where we 'should' be at in our life.
One of my messages in Beautiful is that age does not define you. While ageing is actually a beautiful thing, it doesn't define what you can and cannot do. It truly is a number. There is so much more to a human that the number of years they have been here...such as how deeply you have lived and loved.
Rick is a beautiful example of that. He shares how he cultivates his unshakeable mindset everyday, and how he is going to take this mindset into the boxing ring next month when he (in Ricks words) beats the 30 year olds in that ring.
Rick inspired me so much and I cannot wait for you to hear his widsom. Sadly, the episode was only 8 minutes. We only had a very small pocket of time to record but who knows? Maybe I will get him back on the podcast.

In this episode, I am joined by my beautiful friend Anna Rose and she courageously shares her story & her heart.
Anna is one incredible woman who I have deeply respected for many years for her insane courage and unapologetic way of showing up in the world. She is an Entrepreneur who has been in business for 15 years. Not only has she been successful in business, and disrupted industries, she has absolutely thrived through her unshakeable mindset of grit, determination & never giving up despite the inevitable challenges. She has founded 3 of her own companies including Self-love School, her NFT project 'The Awakened Woman’ and soon to come, her very own activewear label, 'TAW Collective'.
In a nutshell, Anna teaches women how to live unapologetically, sovereignly & with radical self-love. She is one of the most inspiring women I know and I have always been in awe hearing her story and what she has gone on to create despite hardship she has experienced in her life. She is a gal who gets back up again after defeat, dusts herself off and gets back in the ring. I knew from the moment I created this podcast that I needed to get Anna on as a guest.

- Cultivating Courage to express your true self and letting go of the paralysing fear of what others think.
- Having the courage to say what you mean and mean what you say.
- Cultivating courage to be disliked.
- The use of filters on social media.

Welcome to Beautiful the Podcast, the Trailer Episode.
This one is called Perfectly imperfect.I did it a little backward with this podcast in terms of releasing an interview first & the trailer afterward…hehe but that’s okay.
In this Episode, I introduce the vision of Beautiful, my why behind this vision, what to expect from this Podcast and more.
You know when you know a vision so well inside? But speaking it out into words can be hard?
Well that’s what it felt like recording this. It took many attempts to record this one because I was really trying to articulate the vision. I was pretty nervy and stumbled the words a little. But I’ve handed it over now and I just deeply trust that you will get it. If not..I just trust. I trust that you will see as time evolves & the vision comes to life. I have to allow it to be imperfect. I’m learning a lot about this right now as I get creative again.
Thank You if you are here listening. It honestly means the world and I'm excited to share this journey with you.So much love
Marnie x
