About The Author
Kate Purcell is an author, speaker, peer worker and lived-experience expert.
For the first 26 years of her life, Kate lived through various mental disorders, including schizoaffective disorder and psychosis. First diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at the age of fourteen, she remains vigilant in her relationship with food and weight. Her work is motivated by her experiences and a desire to help others through their own trying times.
Now in her forties, Kate is happy, vibrant and healthy. She continually strives to give hope to others who have none. In her honest and raw second book, Tell Your Eating Disorder to F**k Off, Kate gets into the trenches with her readers, joining them on their journey as she traverses her own. Her first book, Hope Inc, is a memoir of illness and recovery.
Both of Kate’s books act as a supportive reminder that while the eating disorder journey never truly ends, the path does get smoother.
Kate lives in Perth WA with her partner, Leon, and their fur-baby, Pan. She loves music, fashion, seeing her friends and sitting in the sunshine at her local pub. Kate is a passionate soul and believes in the statement that ‘Hope is passion for what is possible’.
