Episode #035: How I Overcome Anorexia and Built More Self Worth with Presence Tse

The Grow2Gether Podcast

In this episode of the Grow2Gether podcast, we're joined by Presence Tse, a Student and community member here at Grow2Gether who shares her journey through life so far including her battles with Axorexia, self-worth and overcoming bullying and negativity.

Born and raised in the UK, Presence moved to Hong Kong when she was 9 years old where she faced a complete culture shock especially at School where she was bullied. This caused Presence to go from being a very outgoing person to very introverted, socially anxious, and trying to fit in.

Presence faced Anorexia when she was just 12 years old, due to trying to fit in and developed Alopecia a few years later where she fell into depression for the second time. But, coming across personal development has helped Presence to rewire her mind and change her perspective of life. We dive into this and more during this episode.

Some takeaways from this episode:

• Sharing your story and being vulnerable is the key to unlocking courage, building community, and connecting with like-minded people who will help you to grow. It will also help others, who can relate to you, to realise they aren't alone and inspire them to keep going.
  
• Everything great starts from having a little hope, belief in yourself, and taking action towards where you want to be. ⁣
  
• No matter who it is, you can't change someone who isn't willing to change. Even yourself - if you aren't willing to change, nothing will happen.
  
• When facing bullies or haters, it's worth remembering that they're not going to be in your life forever. Focus on the long-term and where your heading. Set and focus on your goal.
  
• Plus, much much more!
