Erin Molan: “I’ve hated my body since I was 14. And I’ve had enough”

Something To Talk About

Radio and television presenter Erin Molan - who joins Stellar as a regular columnist this year - sits down with Something To Talk About for a poignant and at times heartbreaking conversation about the war she has waged against her own body since the age of 14.

Speaking frankly about the loathing, disgust and punishment she unleashed on herself for more than 20 years as she built a career in the high-pressure world of network television, Erin reveals how she finally reached a point where she’d had enough - and explains why she is now letting go of self-judgement - both for her own sake and the sake of her young daughter.

You can hear Erin each morning on 2DAYFM’s Hughesy, Ed and Erin.
