In this podcast, I will cover eating disorder recovery related topics, and I will also sprinkle in conversations on dating, intimacy, self reflection, inner critic, having a chronic illness, navigating life in your 30s... basically anything that has to do with normal day today life as a fully recovered eating disorder recovery coach! Whether you struggle with anorexia, bulimia, or something in between, I'd love to take you along on the road to full food freedom!
