Welcome to The Genuine Nut Job.

​​

In 2015, I accidentally fell in love with nut butter and decided to set up a business. In 2020, during the global pandemic of COVID-19, I admitted to my family and friends that I have been living with an eating disorder for over eight years.

​

This blog is about my first-hand experienced of being an entrepreneur with an eating disorder. Unfiltered stream of consciousness writing (apologies in advance for any disruptive content); behind the scenes and screens - nobody knows how we live, as cliché as that sounds. Two jobs that for me come hand in hand, and most of the time go unseen. Less a reflection on 'how I made it' - written by someone who remains nameless - this is my work in progress, ending unknown. Candidly, my brand may cease to exist in six months' time and, speaking from experience, it scares me that I can just as easily live with an eating disorder as I can pretend it is never happening.

​

Although I started writing to clear my head - with no else I felt safe around to talk about my feelings - what I am too afraid and embarrassed to say out loud - I need to write; not just for me, I want to give voice to the other voiceless. I never want anyone to feel as alone as I did. In truth I am a curious person and can't help but wonder - is it just me?
