“I’ve been working remotely ever since Covid, which was so bad for my eating disorder. Working at home with the girls helps me keep accountable to keeping a healthy routine, and I can pop over to Second Home in two mins for a change of scene. There’s such a lovely community there too, such a lovely place to work and an additional pre-made social scene to just plug in to as and when I want!”
