- The impact of social media on Amie's mental health and self-worth.
- Exploration of the link between ADHD, body image and disordered eating.
- Re-establishing your identity
- Using perfectionism and dedication to your advantage, rather than becoming obsessive and reaching burn out.
- How Amie works with her clients to address their individual needs.
