015: This week's episode has been highly requested and long overdue. I am finally sharing my story! In this solo chat, I dive into my experiences of perfectionism from an early age, history of an eating disorder and toxic relationship with food, my body, and exercise, and the long, but worthwhile, process of recovery. I also share how I transitioned into college, rediscovered my love for fitness without restriction, and gained confidence in and out of the gym. A major theme you will hear is my lifelong love for storytelling and the importance of sharing your story.
Content warning: In this episode, I discuss my experiences with anorexia and mental illness. If this is a sensitive topic, I recommend skipping portions of this recording or the entire episode.
