Episode Description from the Publisher

We’re back with another history deep dive- this time Princess Diana! Why "she had BPD" became the easy write-off for any woman whose life looks chaotic — and why the people armchair-diagnosing Diana were, predictably, men Why bulimia is the "unsexy" eating disorder, and what that says about whose suffering gets taken seriously  Why we're so obsessed with being "regulated" and "calm," and what nonchalance culture has to do with Diana being called craz Why "doing it for attention" was never the gotcha people thought it was What happens when an institution decides a woman is the problem If you’d like to support the show one of the best things you can do is leave us a review and share the pod!
