In this powerful episode, I sit down with Holly, a remarkable professional who transforms her harrowing journey through anorexia into a mission of mental health advocacy. From battling a life-threatening eating disorder as a teenager to now leading digital mental health technology regulation, Holly shares an intimate and inspiring story of survival, resilience, and purpose.

Holly Coole is Senior Manager for Digital Mental Health at the MHRA and lead for
the Wellcome-funded project to explore the clinical evaluation and regulation of
digital mental health technologies. She has also worked for NHS Supply Chain as
the Patient Safety and Innovation Manager. Holly has a background in psychiatric
nursing, previously working for Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
as a Community Psychiatric Nurse for several years along with experience in a
number of mental healthcare services such as inpatient forensic, older adults and
child and adolescent mental health. Holly has also undertaken training in cognitive
behavioural therapy and brings her own insights to lived experience of mental health.

Holly sincerely discusses her struggles with perfectionism, her cyclical recovery, and how she's turned her most challenging experiences into a force for positive change.

This episode offers a raw, honest look at mental health, breaking stigmas, and finding hope when all seems lost. You will be moved by Holly's courage and insights into self-compassion, personal growth, and the importance of supporting those battling mental health challenges.

If you've ever felt trapped by your own expectations, this episode will set you free.
