CLEAN AND COOKING –
Sept. 28, 2025 – Actress and podcaster Tammin Surok, 42, has turned pain into purpose by being open about her past eating disorders.
She says sharing her private struggles publicly has been liberating. “Having an eating disorder (bulimia) really young, especially as a teenager on Home and Away, was a secret of mine.”
But I didn’t want to feel like I was holding that weight anymore.
“The minute you share it, you feel lighter. And when others share the same thing, you feel so seen.”
Disclosing the difficult truth was still nerve-racking, though.
“I thought it was going to be more judgmental and negative. But it really wasn’t.
“Instead, people were like, ‘Oh my gosh, finally someone said it’ or ‘I’ve really connected’. And that really helped me.”
