This week, it’s Milli’s turn to share her story.

From growing up as a dancer and high achiever to being diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, Milli opens up about the years she spent chasing perfection and believing that being smaller would somehow make her happier, safer, or more worthy.

Together, we explore how our relationship with food and our bodies is shaped by the world around us, and why so many women spend years trying to become someone they’re not, all in the hope of finally feeling “enough.”

Milli shares the experiences that led to her eating disorder, what recovery really looked like, and how learning to let go of perfection became one of the greatest acts of self-love.

In this episode, we cover:

• Growing up as a perfectionist, dancer and high achiever.
• How diet culture and social media influenced her relationship with food.
• The reality of living with anorexia nervosa.
• Why eating disorders are about so much more than food.
• The journey of recovery, healing and learning to trust herself again.
• How her experience inspired her work helping women build a healthier relationship with movement, food and their bodies.

This episode is a gentle reminder that for so many women, the desire to be smaller isn’t really about the body. It’s about wanting to feel accepted, loved, in control, or enough.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt like your body was something to fix, we hope this conversation reminds you that you are enough.
