Folks We Love with Maddy Tyers | Author, When Anna Came To Stay
Before we get into the book, can you please share your story with us?
Hi guys, my name is Maddy and I am an actor, children's author, dabbler in reality-TV and a self-confessed Lego lover from Melbourne.
As a child, I loved dancing, playing dress-ups with my friends and spending my school holidays down at the beach with my family. I was outgoing, creative and adventurous but I also had an incredibly sensitive side. The age of eight was also when I first began to develop an unhealthy relationship with food and toxic behaviours around eating, but it wasn’t until I was sixteen (and in the tight grips of anorexia nervosa) that I was hospitalised and officially diagnosed with a debilitating eating disorder.
It took my family and I many years of heartache, countless hospital visits and endless therapy sessions to find the appropriate road to recovery. I often reflect on the many years we spent navigating the mental health system, unsure of where to go or what to do, and wonder what direction my life would have taken had we detected the illness much earlier and intervened before it took control.
What was the driving force behind bringing When Anna Came To Stay to life?

Maddy Tyers ~ From disordered eating to thriving
Season 2, Ep. 7
•
Maddy Tyers is an actress, TV host and you may even recognise her from a stint on Channel 9's Lego Masters.
But what you may not know is the effervescent Maddy has been on quite the journey in her lifetime. At the age of 8 she developed an eating disorder, by the age of 16 she was hospitalised. Doctors feared for her life because she was so unwell.
Maddy is now 32. It’s taken many, many years in recovery to get to the point she’s at today and she’s thriving,
Maddy just released a children’s book called "When Anna Came To Stay" – aimed at that vulnerable 5-12 year old age group to encourage body positivity and help young children identify disordered eating habits.
Now, just a note, there were a few technical glitches thanks to the joys of recording online through lockdown. I hope they don’t distract too much from Maddy's beautifully contagious energy.
*TRIGGER WARNING - this episode discusses eating disorders. 24 hour help is available through the Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673 or LIFELINE on 13 11 14.*
